I've been and engineer for 27 years...7 years with my first job and 20 years in my current position. I have never lacked any work...if anything, it's getting harder to keep up with the work load. Trust me...if your good at what you do...someone out there is willing to hire you. You just need to look for it!

Let me be the first of many to tell YOU, you aren't showing ANY of an egineer's analytical skills in that remark.

Why? Because you give advice about hiring and the availability of jobs to be found when you have only had TWO in 27 years -- and been twenty years and more since you HAD to find a job.

You might be expert in HOLDING a job -- measured by your remarks -- but you showed yourself a rank tenderfoot and dilletante at looking for work in current market. Not very analytical, not at all.

It's like the "civil" engineer whose never seen a bridge collapse, and only studied two cases of collapse himself back years and years ago. Would you hire that civil engineer to analyze a suspect bridge for it's tendency to collapse? When the first thing he says -- on seeing it as you drie up to it - is "That bridge is a good bridge, and not likely to fall"?

Or would you think he as mite too quick on the draw and likely to shoot his foot off before the gun was out of the holster?

Your right...I've only held two jobs in the past 27 years...but I have to say I get job offers almost monthly. I'm a world traveler and can tell you jobs are out there...the best ones are right here in the good old USA! (by the way...I'm an Eagle Scout...)
