<p>I saw a ranking of jobs on US news or something, they rank movie producer the top paid job, and actors second or something.</p>
<p>lol, are you gonna get those jobs?</p>
<p>Oh, and how about lottery winner is the top paid job?</p>
<p>“What I have always loved about Engineering/I.T. was that I never had to worry about work even during recessions.”</p>
<p>???
You may have found a particular comfy niche, but this is not a generic feature of the profession as a whole, far from it. During one past recession, long ago,the engineering firm I worked for cut bodies aplenty. Another refused to hire undergrads they had given offers to, leaving them completely stranded. Companies that are project oriented staff up when they have projects, but when those projects are not coming in it should not be be surprising to find that a good chunk of their workers aren’t either. Including engineers.</p>
