Well, I pursued a degree in chemical engineering back a few years ago and I'm pretty happy with the out come. Diligent budgeting and a boost from Dow Jones has my current net worth over $1 millon smackers. My son,with a degree in computer science, did computer work for 15 years, worked hard for MCI and got laid-off, at his instance, in February. His net worth is $2+ million at age 38 and he may not ever need to work again. He tells me that there are 40,000 high tech jobs in the Washington DC area that are currently unfilled. Get out of Boston and look arround! Bitching doesn't do it. Working and looking for opportunities does!!
