Guys, you're NOT a kidding.......I've done the same line of work for 25 years, and 18 of them for a LARGE firm in Louisville. If Obama gets his way and passes some of his reforms, the company I work for may be in trouble, and I really don't want to look for work.

I've looked in the past, and the stuff around here is not that good, and a LOT has already been outsourced.......I've ALWAYS put myself into a position of being important, and being 1 of the last to go if layoffs, etc, etc happened, but DISMANTLING of the industry is something I hadn't thought of.

I will be competing with LOTS of young SNOTS willing to work for 1/4 what I make. Or worse......Offshore contractors.........HUGE 10,000 man firms willing to work for 1/8 what I make.....

SCARY.......Funny thing though........I have GUBMENT agencies calling all the time......Maybe I might have to become one of those gubment employeees I so dispise ......

Oh well........I'm still employeed......for NOW.

Later,

Geo
