Just curious to see how many of us have been affected by this recession. I was/am in the firesprinkler trade and had never missed ay time for over 20 years.
In 2009 I ruptured my bicep tendon had surger and when I was released to go back I got laid off and havn't been able to find a job in that trade since.
Now I'm trying working from homeand doing pretty good.
Anyone else have to start over?

I had to start over twice. The first time, the place that I had worked for over 10 years went bankrupt, thanks to very bad management, so everyone was unemployed. I went back to school, and found another job in the same field, and was there for three years while on and off at school, but the hours were eventually cut back for strange reasons (when ironically we were doing better), but I eventually loss my job, and is now starting over. Since I have off, I have worn several hats, student, volunteer, semi political activist, writer, just to keep myself busy. I hope to be able to finish school and make one of my hobbies something in which I could draw an income from.
