I keep hearing that it's going to be getting better but what I am seeing is too contradictory to that.

Sorry for those being laid off.

shit I was watching the news yesterday and they said it's going to be a least a year until the unemployment slows down and the economy starts to turn...

guess the stimulus plan didn't work-where the hell did all that money go?

It does require a Master's Degree. I'm just kinda private like that.

It's good to be able to help support my family, but It just makes me feel bad.

I was actually being recruited by a different company, but I'm honored to still be here.

part of the reason why instead of going back to school for my masters in engineering....

Im going to be a nurse.

yeah, im serious. 390 jobs for nurses in my area. less than 40 for mechanical engineers. both have the same wages.

instead of kissing baby boomers asses... from now on ill be whipping them.

Never a truer statment, we tried the "service" nation we have to export goods otherwise we are at the mercy of everyone else. What got us out of the great depression? An industrial boom to support world war 2. Only problem is if we dont have out own means of powering an industrial revolution we are fucked, lets get our heads out of our asses and fast track nuclear energy already forget the green weeny bs.
