The Economy

So, apparently, the economy really sucks, right?

This is all really ominous for me. I've been through this sort of thing before, and I don't want to go through it again.

When I graduated high school in 2000, I went to TSTC in Waco and majored in Telecommunications. There were 4 girls in my class (ended up with just me and another at graduation). I was totally sold on doing Telecom when the (female) program director told me that chicks in the Telecom field were in high demand.

And you made GOOD money.

I was in my Digital circuit class on September 11th, 2001.

I graduated after "double-majoring" in August of 2002. I was one of the few people in my graduating class to find a job, and I didn't like it and me and my boss decided it really wasn't for me and it wasn't really what I wanted to do. It involved wires, yeah, but not the kind I learned to work on.

We went from people getting jobs before they graduated to a FEW finding some type of new employment (@ graduation, not later on). Everyone else went back to doing that they had left behind to go to school; truck driving or installing satellites, etc. We had big hopes, we were gonna be professionals. We had fun.

That's the way it's going now. We're struggling, but we're making it. We know we won't have trouble finding jobs. The healthcare field is booming, and it always will be.

Right?

It would be just my luck to get smack-dab in the middle of this only to find out at the half-way point that maybe things aren't going as good as they were before.

I hope, this time, I've found something that can't be cut back on. Maybe healthcare will prevail over the economy. All healthcare fields, not just nursing, will still be desperately needed, no matter what.

......Right?
