How is the Economy affecting you?
Just curious to see how everyones career/profession is doing with these so called hard times. Graduating school in may and my field looks pretty stable so far. I am however looking to expand my knowledge in other fields to keep income high.

I am in the postal service/army . they won't hire any new civilian workers, and all the soldiers are deployed, so we are double task and working overtime without overtime pay. (but hey thats job security)

We"wife,I,DRAIL" are now at a scheduled 4 days a week and 8hrs a shift. SCHEDULED as in a planned production, but their are fluctuations. In another words the wife and I are out about $1000 a month so we will most likely strive to make all the bills that are attached to the house"house/utilities" and then make ---- as payments to the non secured loans and the 09CRV payment(it will be the first to go)...... I already have everything I need in life and all the un-secured loans are my least worries since all those ******* were bailedout, I'll call when I start to miss/late payment them to affirm them that I am trying but they are not going to cause me to go hungry. SO WHO IS WORRIED ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL?
