"No-one's going to give you a job flying twins and most of the flying up north is VFR. You need to go out and scare yourself a couple of times, get some hours under your belt and then come back and see me - then you'll really appreciate what an instrument rating is for!"
"You need to go out and scare yourself a few times" If you are talking about running short of fuel or getting lost (temporarily uncertain of your position in the never-never), then that is bound to happen sooner or later to most VFR only CPL's as they gain experience.

But if you are alluding to a VFR CPL inadvertently penetrating IMC whether low cloud and/or blinding rain necessitating going on to instruments, then it's a bit late to be thinking about getting an instrument rating.
