Yep the job outlook is brighter…….as long as you don’t mind being UNDEREMPLOYED - you know, you used to earn (and live on $100,000 a year - maybe one of those 80,000 California State employees) and now you get a grantwriter postion (quoting from Steyn there) at oh, $40,000 a year! You’ll lose your home, car, kid’s tuition and retirement possibilites but by gosh you are employed!

Having your income cut from 100K to 40K is NOT the end of the world

Been there, Done that, (a couple of times, actually) Got the T Shirt

Just because at one time in your life you were at XXX salary does NOT mean you ALWAYS have to be at XXX level
