This blog is for people wanting and needing to work who see only dim possibilities to earn money doing the work they had been doing.  Some people will have the delightful surprise of landing just that opportunity but most probably won’t.  For the latter group I’d like to say things are probably not as bad as you think…especially if you are willing to change.
