I'd hold on to that roommatehafrogman said:Well, the key to cheap flights is to get your roommate to start working for an airline. Then make sure that s/he doesn't have a spouse or any spawn, then voila. You have "designated guest" status.![]()
My mom moved to Minnesota because my dad lost his job a couple of years ago. No matter how good you are, when you're an electrical engineer/manager with twenty some odd years experience in the semiconductor industry, job openings are scarse. So when you find one, you take it. Even if it's got cold winters.

I understand the jobs being scarce thing. Dshai's specialty in the IT field is a rather narrow field, and a lot of companies have been outsourcing it. He had a contract end and then 2 years later the company he worked for next was bought out and he lost his job there too. That 2nd lay off came right after I found out I was preggers with Kylee. :\ When he was called in for an interview for the gov't position he has now, I was quite happy. Yeah, he could make more in the corporate world, but I prefer the job security.
