You should seriously consider this advise.
Of all the people I know today, the only ones comfortable about their future are those who work for the Fed Gov't. It is near impossible to lose your job. Great benefits and wonderful retirement plans. Friend of mine works for the US Treasury. After 20 years she retires with full pay for life.
Everyday I hear about someone else in my circle of friends getting laid off - and I'm talking about 6 figure earners with decades of experience.
My wife lost her job of 18 years 3 weeks ago - no warning at all. Largest employer in St. Louis decided to outsource her department. Everyone gone with the swipe of a pen - except the person doing the swiping.
How come the people who decide to lay a bunch of people off to enhance the bottom line never recommend that their job is eliminated?
