Woah, that's some massive hyperbole there; learning Dvorak does not risk your ability to earn a living in this industry.

Yes, because while you're learning one style, you completely forget the other style and are left unable to type fluently. </sarcasm>

I learned dvorak. After doing this for ~2y, I'm much (twice?) faster in Dvorak than QWERTY presently, and am slightly faster than my old QWERTY typing speed.
