What do you do?

Well honestly the job market is real rough for almost any field you can pick right now. With the events of 9/11 the ripple effect was felt. Plus in my opinion with the invention of the internet and web it has finally begun hitting us. I was discussing this just today with a friend, You can basically learn so much and find so many courses and info online that people are just basically becoming smarter and smarter. Granted maybe they aren't getting smart in the meaning of being well rounded and intelligent in worldly experiences but they can and are learning specifics for a field of work. Look at what most of these 12 year olds can do online, (no not froy, lol.)

The market is being overfilled right now, and most people while experienced are becoming obsolete. I want to do into an entirely different field. My cousin is an editor for VH1, he does post production work. He went to the same college I did but he majored in Television and radio. I am interested in the work he does.

Plus basically the old addage is true, it is who you know. You can know everything and then some but if you don't have ties you got nothing. How many people you know who are where they are through a friend or a friend of a friend or a family member. 80% of the jobs I've had since Junior High have been through other people who passed on a word. So I also want a field where I will have that edge as well.
