Both stories listed are the result of their own decisions. The first lady quit her job to go to law school and can't find work in her old field. The second example listed left his full-time job to get in the real estate business which was unstable even when he started (July 2007) and they are both wondering what went wrong. No one I've spoken with is anxious to move jobs right now and everyone seems to want to stay where they are until things brighten up. These people took risks that didn't pan out and that is why they are where they are.
- ibsulon 18y agoIf you haven't noticed, there were 70,000 layoffs this week. In Tucson, people are scrambling for jobs. I'm in a position where my employment is ending in March and the jobs I see are extremely competitive. I'm in a good position relatively (strong savings, a competitive skillset for enterprise applications) but I'm extremely concerned. (And yes, the plan is to attempt to generate revenue through some sort of startup if nothing comes along. This, of course, is the benefit of being a creator. My concern is that no one seems to be buying right now.)
