David, Your predicament sounds painful, and I doubt there are many easy solutions, and moreover, I imagine that whatever opportunities there are are likely to be increasingly over-supplied as the economy at large continues its slide. But what do I know... By coincidence, I came across this page today, which may give you some food for thought - just ignore the silly headline. I'm under no illusions about how difficult the path is for the vast majority of us, and I don't put this in front of you because of the reference to "millions" - but a quick survey of the Forbes articles it links to was informative, and may stimulate some directions for you to continue your searches... http://www.financialpost.com/story-printer.html?id=327828 All the best, Chris David Korpiewski wrote: > ** The author of this post was a Good Dobee. > ** You too can help the group > ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > So I have an interesting predicament.
