If anyone happens to know of anyone hiring/looking, let me know. Or maybe I'll just try to make a career change out of it. I'm getting awfully sick of dealing with this kind of crap every time the economy burps every 5-8 years or so... This profession is so love/hate sometimes...

I have been out of the job market since Sept. 2008. Not only do I have an architectural license for my state but I am NCARB certified and a LEED Accredited Professional. Been going on interviews, but the companies that are hiring are only offering half of what I was making. Last time I was unemployed was back in 1974.
Lucky for me I have a pension and the wife still have her job.
Hoping that Chicago will get the nod for the 2016 Olympic in 2009. That will bring design and construction jobs back to the city.
The bright side of this is that i have been able to spend a lot of time with my 4year old son. My wife think he has autism because he missed several milestones in his development. I think he is fine. We had him tested by several specialists and some say that he is find and some say that he has a little bit of autism.
He is more talkative since I been home and I got him hook on the internet. My brother even got him a tiny mouse for his hand.
Happy New Year everyone.
