Of course. But it's disturbing to me to hear of a friend of mine who was graduated with a degree in engineering from Kansas, joined a big firm in Kansas City, then moved to Ohio to cash in on the Y2K fiasco (he made a mint during that bit of hysteria). He was then hired by Inktomi and moved to Portland, Ore. They gave him a pink slip once, but hired him back. Then they laid him off again (along with just about everyone else). His wife found work in New Hampshire (no, I'm not kidding), so they moved there. But he's still a house husband. Does a little work on the side for a friend of his back in K.C., but other than that, can't find suitable employment. OK, he's 6-2, 215, 29 years old and doesn't want to work for $7 an hour at a dog food plant. Can't blame him. Six years of college for this? By the way, this kid is from a broken home in Dodge City, Kan. He is not just some spoiled brat. PB
