Come to SA for 6 months or so. Job market here is a sellers market, and we live and eat normally, not raw animals on the street. And, rednecks fit in very well here. I'm serious - a man of your calibre will walk all over the market here. I'll teach you basic Afrikaans, like "fok jou en jou ma", etc.

:laugh: That reminds me of myself and a friend that studied with me. Shes from Malawi and didn't understand a word Afrikaans, until I taught her :rolleyes: Things like: Thank you = fokken kafer Bye = jou poes It was so funny hearing her say those things to people in such a polite manor and with a smile on her face :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry to hear that John :( I changed industries because this happened to me a few times, now in a better sector (semiconductors).

Are you hoping to eventually move to complete conductors?

Let me know too. San Antonio is nice.
I submitted three resumes this morning from postings on Craigs List and (reluctantly) agreed to meet with a placement agency rep. There were more, but I wasn't qualified enough for them. I go for at least a 75% match on skills/requirements. If I can't match at least 3 of 4 stated requirements, I don't waste their time until it gets down to the short hairs on the duration of unemployment.

SPAWARS is hiring if the Charleston area is not out of acceptable range. If you are interested let me know by e-mail
That would be a 7-hour commute.
