I started to respond yes that makes sense, and then the light bulb turned on. I know this is a tough time for everyone and I think it will drastically change the landscape years from now as there will be an age group missing in many fields such as engineering where the young people will not be able to enter the field. And eventually I think there will be a noticeable age group missing because they were driven away. I feel fortunate for my experiences and given the chance again I would dance the dance the same way!

Approximately six months ago, her husband lost his job as a surveyor; and the 24-year-old company simply went out of business. Their daughter had to come back home from an out-of-state university. They now live on a teacher's salary. Her husband gets together with other industry friends for lunch every couple of weeks because they're all out of work with no prospects blowin' in the wind. She said a relative or friend of theirs recently graduated from Stanford with a degree in engineering. There is no job for him. The Standford name doesn't matter; there just aren't any jobs. The positive spin she offered was that at least my daughter got to work in her field of choice for a number of years; their friend may never get started in his engineering career. More positive spin was that if her friend applies for a job, and Teresa does to, Teresa will get the job. "Does that make sense?" A friend at school suggested a positive spin to your loss of work.
