Professer Smith, what is your point?

I used to be an engineer, and I saw many good people (like, 3,000) on the street for reasons of Corporate Stupidity and Just Plain Bad Planning. (GE, for inquiring minds.) I've been layed off because our entire engineering department was replaced overseas. (Different company. Stock price is now $.07 Hah. Serves 'em right.)

Now IBM says they are moving disk drive jobs (1100 of them) to where the cheap labor lives. They said they are not laying 1100 workers off. Some will be retrained. Good tech help is in short supply.

I retrained myself. That's job security in the new millenium. Now I teach. And I invest my savings.

<Understand, I am not blaming IBM for the trend, it is here with all the other items of the "new economy" or should I say "paradyme"..>

You should say "paradigm"

The responsibilities of the intellectual class are heavy, Dr. Smith. (If you were a physician, I would let it pass.)

Your Spellin' Buddy
