As some of you know I work at a Casino; I work in the Slots Department in Managment. The thing I find funny about this so called "terrible" economy is that there are still a shit ton of people going to the Casino's and spending their money. Sure buisness fell off a bit when gas was $4 per gallon but it wasn't that significant.

I remember when I first got my job at a casino 13 years ago; 4 of my buddies were going to college and eventually graduated with degrees in IT. I was jealous at the time because I figured their future would be a lot brighter than mine.

Fast forward 13 years, all but one of them does not have a job in the field of their degree and none of them have had a steady job for more than a year. And the 4 of them combined don't make as much per year as I do.

My point is that in my opinion the economy has just shifted; the jobs that were once thought of as for sure things are no longer the way to go and some of the jobs that were looked down upon are now some of the most secure.

Shit if I were a kid graduating high school I would go to school for health care, that is about the only for sure thing their is out there IMO.
