Hope you get it. Something is better than nothing !! And you can relate to that in more than a job I think !
These days - almost all people have to start a little lower on the job totem pole job wise I think. Lots of extra / over qualified people unfortunatly available. Nowadays people almost have no choice but take a lessor job. But, prove your worth and most companies will still do something to keep you. At least I'd like to think/hope so.
Sucks.... we just laid off 25% of our people - many with lots of years service - like 10 to 17. That's how deep the cuts are/were. Thank you from above that I wasn't one of them. What is really kind of scary is I/we work in a fairly stable type enviornment - in normal circumstances.
