Most people are taught growing up by their teachers in school and parents at home as they are growing up that if they study hard, get good grades, get a degree and find a job at a big corporation that you will have job and financial security. I won't get into the underlying fundamentals that are causing the underlying fundamental issues that are causing the current economic turmoil (that is another entire blog post itself)however to discuss the current employment issues at hand. a couple of recent examples a little bit close to home for me being a native Houstonian. Just recently due to damage in the wake of hurricane IKE in Galveston TX <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/stories/2008/11/10/daily36.html" rel="nofollow">UTMB layed off 3800 employees</a>, just down the street from where I live an icon in the automotive industry <a href="http://www.fortbendnow.com/pages/full_story?page_label=home&id=732402-Bill-Heard-Sugar-Land-Sold-Out-Of-Bankruptcy-Some-Customers-Left-In-Limbo&widget=push&article-Bill-Heard-Sugar-Land-Sold-Out-Of-Bankruptcy-Some-Customers-Left-In-Limbo%20=&instance=home_news_lead_story&open=&" rel="nofollow">(Bill Heard) filed bankruptcy</a> and 6000 employees including some personal friends of mine with mortgages etc lost their jobs. So what is my point? There is no job security in "Corporate America" anymore. We can't depend on these large corporations for retirement or even month to month income. However there is light at the end of the tunnel. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive an well in the united states and there is much more job security and financial Independence when you are actually hanging your own shingle. Also as stated in this post there is abundant opportunity for us all in what I like to call the "new economy" as a result of the advent of the internet. This post brings home a great point.
