Good thread.....I spent 30 years in corporate America. Been thru more downsizing and restructuring than I want to remember. I personally laid off hundreds of people. In 2002, there was another round of downsizing. I did the unthinkable: volunteered to be laid off. At the time I was making over $150K per year. So, you think I am nuts, right? Well, the 50% airline <a href="http://go-advertising.com?go=travel" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: travel';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''">travel</a>, the 80-100 hour weeks takes it toll. I decided to start a small consulting company, and never looked back. Making money and doing well. Never happier! So, young bucks, blaze your own trails. If you have a positive attitude and are not afraid of hard work, success will come.
