Depends.  If your skills are good....you may get a job wearing more hats than you planned for, but getting great pay.  In times like this, many companies are looking to fire the old whales, get leaner and hand out their responsibilities to lower payed, hungry, young guns.  This economy has done wonders for me.  Every time my company ax's some old geezer (who does nothing) I benefit.

I heard that back in 1999.   If you could do anything at that time - even simple html coding - you worked and made good $.  then when the economy started to suck, that's what ppl should go back to school.

any business majors?

soon to be, why?

[240 is Back]

I have an MBA, a teaching degree, and an AS in computer networking.

A few of the ppl that I went to grad school with don't have jobs right now.

I work - seriously - 4 or 5 part time jobs.  websites, music, writing, and more.

I can't imagine being dependent upon a single firm for your primary source of income in an environment where so many firms are closing.  I heard yesterday that cali had a 10% unemployment rate right now.  insane.

It's much harder getting recruited out of school into a public accounting firm even with a high GPA. Sure you can get a staff accounting position at a small firm, but a Big Four firm is out of your grasp unless you rode the economic wave last year or had good prior experience.

For entry level workers, government positions are coming into play more than ever, and even grad school just to meet the new CPA exam eligibility requirements.

Companies are getting leaner and meaner.  If you have skills and you are valuable you still have a job in most cases.  It's like cutting the fat of chicken.  Places like California and Florida are going to be affected more than places like Boston and New York.

Whats your yearly income from all these jobs, Rob.  Above 75 or no?

[240 is Back]

How much money do you make per year Rob?

not enough.

Obama actually came to my city - lee county FL - cause our unemployment levels are so bad.  Everything here was built on construction and tourism.  Both are very very dead at the moment.

I guess you are right.. Despite the doomsday prophecies in the news, most of the people I know are still employed and living fine, they're just a bit cautious about spending money.

Why not take the public job, kick ass for a year, then walk into one of the "big four" with a kick ass resume and tons of real world experience.  They are just itching to can Bob the 40 year vet who plays computer games all day while avoiding his job.  They can pay you 10% less and generate 30% more production.

Agreed.  States like your are always going to be hit hardest by times like this.  However, your business is perfect for this.   I suspect your sales are up?   Advertising is most important in times like this and websites are a must.  Can't beat a complete website for 300 bucks.

Associates degree in Culinary arts from Johnson and Wales University. Graduated at the head of my class.
Grande Diplome Le Cordon Bleu. Again Graduated at the head of my class.

Saw those two pastry Chefs from Johnson and Wales on food network yesterday.  A bread competition/pastry competition? Two bald guys. One white one black.  Their shit was amazing.  I played sports for a school a stones throw away from you for a semester before I transfered up to Boston.  Lets just say I spent many nights at "the bar"when I was 18, ha-ha!
