The medical system will eventually go down, especially in the U.S. "Austerity" means "don't spend so much money keeping old people alive." Which means fewer jobs in the medical industrial complex.<br /><br />That's one of several reasons we didn't come back to the U.S., because the seemingly safe field I'm in will not be so stable. I even worried that leaving Oz, where I had four years of seniority, would put me out on a limb in the new country. I reckon I'll have a few years of time here before austerity starts to bite. Might insulate me somewhat. If it ever gets to the point where mass layoffs in socialized medicine hospitals start happening, all bets for social stability will be off at that point anyway.<br /><br />If I can give one bit of career advice to anyone, it's this: Learn how to grow food.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-78097465627274786742010-08-16T19:34:07.975-07:002010-08-16T19:34:07.975-07:00best of luck

It gives me a chance to show off how smart I am, or at least how smart I pretend to be. It's also an opportunity to quiz potential bosses and see how their outfit works compared to wherever I am at present. I walk in with an attitude of "I'm interviewing YOU as much as vice versa." The confidence helps me get the job.<br /><br />Of course, I can say that with ease in my current medical racket, where new jobs and countries to work in are easy to come by. I realize it sucks bigtime to be looking for work in most other fields. I regret that the rest of youse cannot feel the lack of pressure I have in my life. If I were a follower of Bob Dobbs in the Church of the Sub Genius, I'd say that I've got slack in my life!
