i wish that was fully true... i did that route right out of high school and hasnt paid off quite yet. i've got ONE promising opportunity out of maybe... 30 companies i've applied with. jobs are out there. just never where we're at. good luck bud.

as for the election... who knows maybe one will come along sooner than 3 years; but that's wishful thinking. the new presidents fan rating has dropped faster than bush's... by like 10 fold. once everybody realised he's just another politician and they nothing but smoke and mirrors. oh well bunker down boys and hide your guns. we may not even have those to make sure we survive

I still have my job right now, and am very thankful for that, but my wages are down by 25K I dont think this is what the founding fathers had in mind

A PM, or project manager is exactly that someone whom manages projects. An estimator prepares quotes and generates the money side of a contract with respect to a contractor (for the most part).

Good luck I'm looking for work too. The jobs are out there it just that every one and there mother is turning applications. If I was a CNC operator I could have 100 jobs by now.

Make that 3. My VP is coming to the project site next week Wednesday to discuss the balance of work. The last time he showed up was last year when I was laid off. This time it will be for good I think.

That day happens to be pay day so it will either be my last day or it will be to determine my last day. Either way, I'm done like dinner.

CRAP...
