Just curious to know what you all do for a living, how you like your job, what the job market is like in your area, etc, etc. I work in the forever diminishing manufacturing sector, until they decide they can make more money across the pond or across the border.

Sorry to hear it. I guess the job market ain't that great in Canada.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer doing consulting work in Atlanta. The job market for ME's in the southeast is booming.

Which one you want?

I manage the accounts for a telecom company since 1999. Telecom is booming- just not in Alabama. Where I work

And I Am also an administrative assistant looking for more work. Apparently the only way to get a job in that field no matter how good you are- is to be a slack who sleeps all day.

And I find those admin jobs by being a temp.
