I hope you are right and we are near a low. I am starting to seriously consider not moving and just retiring and finding work in the "Real World" instead. If I go civilian, I don't want to be hitting the job market right at the beginning of a double dip but instead on the beginning of an upswing so I have a chance to build some seniority.

"I know we've seen relatively strong announcements of GDP growth in the United States, but as far as I can tell, that hasn't translated into corporate profitability or corporate IT investment growth," Intel CEO Craig Barrett told reporters. "We're looking at a relatively flat second quarter. I don't think you're going to see any substantial uptick in the industry until corporate profits increase and you see investment in corporate IT infrastructure," Barrett said. "I wish I had something better to tell you," he told reporters, after giving a speech on improving math and science eduction.
