if you can locate them, let me know, I have friends who worked in tech - who are at Lowes now, or in real estate.

let's not forget - government workers, teachers and those who work in education, and many who work in health care - are paid for through taxes, they are net "takers" from the system. only private sector workers provide net inflows.

A friend of mine used to occupy a rather nice position with the State of Wisconsin--then moved to search consulting.

Now he's at Home Depot.

His former (search) employer gave up the biz and joined a larger firm.
