Makes you wonder when the Department of Labor will change their hiring outlook lists.
As much as I'm trying to get back into this field, I'm at odds over others due to the fact that everything else seems to be downsizing as well.
You know you're in trouble when you see laid off engineers and chemists applying to the low-brow security company you're working at.
Luckily, I've been doing this off and on since '03, so it's my experience in this field that put me ahead of them on the hour-buffet.
And just like trucking, these degree-holders end up leaving after a week due to the "monotony-level" of the job.

Huh huh, marriage.
