Well, IMHO, at least to me, I don't care at all about where the company is going or whether it's a long term or short term solution. In this day and age, the management at the companies are over-stretching the limits of free and cheap solutions before considering enterprise level solutions. In these kind of situations, what I'm interested in is whether my skill will get me a job and retain job with least competition and most ease whether it be MS Access or SQL or mySQL or whatever.
