[Sigia-l] Thought I might elicit some responses

On a more serious note ...

Sean, I think your worries are real, if that is what you are asking us.
The recent balk by Worldcom and Global Crossings, as well as the
airlines are all signs of tough times right now. If you have other
trades to fall back on (I think there was a thread on this or similar
list of people in NYC talking about bartending) I say take it. Don't
stay unemployed if you don't have to, just to hold onto a career track
that well quite honestly isn't economically viable unless you already
have a job.

These jobs will be the last hires in most companies that are recovering
and will be the first to go at the companies whose recoeveries are
failing.
