Ann, I agree with KLP....Attitude and adapting to change will make life better and help you survive job losses or anything else. My grandparents came down from Quebec to work in the mills in NH and MA rather than keep trying to scratch a living off a rock. My parents became small business people, which is what my husband and I are now, after quitting/getting laid off from corporate life. We see no point in sitting around blaming "greedy industrialist/capitalists", trying to find work in an area glutted with laid-off professionals (telecom) or meekly accepting our fate, like that poor jerk in the movie Howard's End, who lost his job, couldn't find another doing the same thing and ended up starved to death and too weak to survive. I remember thinking, "Why doesn't the idiot borrow some money from his wealthy lover and start over in Canada, or Australia, and then pay her back???" But noooo, it wouldn't be "honorable".... sheesh.
