Re: Mega shuts down his engineering company

Well, not sure this is the right thread to post this -- but my son (a young man) just landed two jobs today. He's away right now delivering pizza, and later this month he will help collect the U.S. census. News of both jobs arrived via phone calls today. Both are crap jobs, but that's ok.

My condolences to the others posting job losses. Hang in there. Adapt. Be flexible. The human being is an amazingly resilient creature.

No job is a crap job, at least not in my world..... I pray that one day I'll be able to get out of my college education what I put into it (money wise at least).

Sell up, take your money, skills and family and head down under (Aus/NZ/Sth Africa)..

UK is a sinking ship more so than others.

I agree Mega - Civil /structural Engineering & Electrical people in great demand down here. Climate is good, people friendly, goodlooking available girls of all nationalities. If you go to NZ beware of entering sheep shagging competitions - it can be a grueling fight against the Local competitors;)

Good luck, Mega!

We should all go to New Zealand. Back about 8 months, NZ was all the rage among iTulipers, including myself. :cool:

USA is best. If you plan to move out of UK, you will love
California. Real Estate for brand new Good houses goes
for $100/sq ft. Weather is also great.

If you work for the Feds you are golden.

This has been the key for success in the US over the last couple of years. Our customers have benefited from a 30% discount on our product from a Federal tax discount and the product itself has moved down in price another 30%. There is currently a bill before Congress to add an additional 30% reduction in cost. We're business people, but we're following the lead of the Federal government. I don't see this trend ending in the next 2-3 years.

You might be able to get a good deal on a house in NZ.

Haven't you heard? NZ is all full now. :p

I hear there's lots of room in Australia now, though. Not much water, but lots of room.

Re: Mega shuts down his engineering company

took my lumps getting out of fortune 500 executive illfestyle (complete with a 3rd life-wave of total savings wipeouts), but fortunate to be in the premier fair/concert/rodeo business now. business is literally booming (where else can you buy tickets for an all day event including a great carnival, darn near a zoo, rodeo, and major artists (black eyed peas, etc, for $16?).

we are having an all time record year.
