Hello Steve;

A friend of mine went back to work a few days ago after being out of work for almost three years. He is a SQA engineer, with a college degree in the subject and lots of experience. He almost lost his house and finally took a job in customer service to pay the bills.

The job market out here is not good. The media tells us everything is picking up including IT. That is not the reality I observe.

Good luck.

Tom
