-> Niels...a point from both sides...
-> 
-> - If you can't get through the short run, the long run 
-> doesn't matter. You're looking at it from the perspective of 
-> the collective.
-> Others are looking at it from the perspective of paying 
-> their gas and oil bill for the next 90 days and making their 
-> kid's tuition payment on the coming first of the month.

Yeah, well, I think that if we don't make it in the long run, who cares about the short run.
As for the energy bills and tuition system in the US, and the welfare system in general, this is not the place to discuss that (I know what you mean, though). The US seems to be working up its trillion dollar debt on other things at the moment...
 
-> - Accept that a position should go to the best value, which 
-> is a balance between cost and quality. Then get whatever 
-> training you need to tip the balance in favor of quality; if 
-> not for your current employer, one that allows you to make 
-> the transition as quick as possible.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Anyway - I just wanted to pitch in with a little global outlook. End of sermon! ;o)
