Stephen,
...As Doctor Phil would say. How's that working out for you? You have the experience and the skills but here you are getting beat up financially when the economy has a hiccup (admittedly a big hiccup). There is a need for skilled workers but as you see recently the demand fluctuates with the economy. Think about what you can do differently so that you do not get your hours and income cut every time the economy changes. The world is changing too rapidly for any of us to think that we are going to have the same job ten years from now. Many of our fields will change and move on in very different directions. Think about what you REALLY want to do and what you need to do to make it happen.

>>but your comparing those big purches with the pet industry was a good one and it make sence to me so thank you.
