(though, many are now super-rich with casinos and whatnot. i guess there's a long term play there).SoftTouchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-13258986132050640612010-05-15T01:15:57.089-04:002010-05-15T01:15:57.089-04:00I don't know whether anonymous is serious or n...I don't know whether anonymous is serious or not...but that's actually my greatest fear and something I'm going to write about in my next blog post.

However, as always, no mention was made of what exactly people should retrain and reeducate for.<br /><br />Some might say that people should retrain for health care-related jobs, but a slew of people are already retraining and reeducating for that already and a nation's economy cannot run on health care alone.<br /><br />So we are left with the question, retrain, reeducate--for what? In an age where just about any type of job that is not almost literally nailed down to the land can be sent to India or China, it's difficult to know what to retrain and reeducate for. Computer jobs? Those can be done in India for less or filled by foreigners on H-1B and L-1 visas.Frank the Underemployed Professionalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461791753886733576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-82327635954512871212010-05-14T17:35:45.560-04:002010-05-14T17:35:45.560-04:00I am now curious about INAFJ.

It seems like a movement lacking intellectual ideas (a mob shouting, "We want jobs!") and/or some sort of an attempt to earn money off of twentysomething angst. (Someone somewhere has money to burn (or to invest in the hopes of earning a profit) because that cute website and the billboard ads were not free.)
