[Alberta's Child]

I'm an engineer by training, and that's what I do for a living -- but I've always gone out of my way to see to it that I maintain an interest in a wide array of areas in which I could work if my job ever disappeared.

An engineer may seem "overtrained" to be a truck driver, but perhaps not for an accountant, a logistics expert, a real estate consultant, a banker, etc.

Accounting is going offshore, banking ... goodness gracious! That's what the world needs more bankers!

Real estate, now that's a place to make money, just wait until the housing market blows up, shouldn't take too long. Once our wages go down to India levels just imagine what's going to happen to that market.

All the jobs that you listed BTW are not going to keep us at the top of the economic and technological food chain.

BTW, I have a Masters degree, plenty of education, plus I can draw a bit (well you can disagree from my crude editorial cartoon above) so I think I'm fortunate to be able to move to other things. But I love what I do, and I think I can contribute more to society with what I do, so I'll "whine" all I want to the politicians that facilitate jobs being offshored and inshored here by irresponsible VISA policies.
