Re: Oliver, (bgrice)
You are funny! Do you really think *everyone* has to work for their pay like most of us do?

You are funny! Do you really think *everyone* has to work for their pay like most of us do? I dated a chick a couple of years ago who was a Senior External Auditor for an Independent Oil Company and I'll swear they paid her $90K/year to call me at work so that I couldn't get anything done. She even told me that she couldn't understand why anyone would work so much for what I was being paid. She was a cutie, so I put up with it for awhile. (Hint: Key Word: awhile). :cheers:

Gee, I must really be in the wrong line of work. I work at a library, I put books back on the shelves, I have to work the whole time I'm there. But I'm young, so maybe once I get out of college I'll get one of those nice no work jobs. :lol:

This continual outsourcing of higher paying jobs has to reined in, which obviously means a re-evaluation of funds management and return expectations on the equity holders side. We have seen that as an "informational/service sector" based economy we just cannot survive at this point, read still "Fear of further Recession" in the Wall Sreet Journal and Barons. We conitinue to sell our childrens' futures out with such short sighted economic policies driven by IRR, CFPS etc. but what do I know since leaving Wall St and Int'l trade arena. I am just going to buy a Tim Horton's for my son and pay my daughter's way through orthodontist school, move up to the cottage for May - Nov and the winter home in Arizona for winters. Olivier I am truly sorry to hear this and I hope that you have other options available to you when the time comes. :sad:

Olivier...
Information technology doesn't seem to be the place to be these days like it used to. You pick up the phone and call a problem about a Dell computer and you are routed to someone in India or Pakistan that will work for 1/4 of the money. It's not a good thing as far as I am concerned as the majority of the companies around the world are purely looking at their short-term bottom line and not the consequences of the U.S. economy not being able to support buying those $55,000 vettes if it continues.

I'm working in a very specific field of IT and there are very few jobs available. I'm a mainframe Sr. Systems Analyst... (MVS, COBOL, CICS, DB2, JCL, VSAM etc........) and have no Client Server experience (other than private experience)..

Olivier,
I was in your shoes back in '97 (S390, MVS, COBOL II, CICS, DB2, VSAM). I took the leap into Quality Assurance and then Project Mgmt in e-business. You may want to consider a move into Project Mgmt/Leadership to expand your options.

Re: Oliver, (GrandSportC3)
Oliver: I hope you get a great job. You gotta support all of those vettes. So, you are not thinking about moving to Chile? I don't think I would either.
Maybe you should prepare to "hunker down" a little now in case you are without work for awhile. Good Luck! :)
