Re: [PLUG] I just got laid off.
|
Probably a good industry to consider in a technology capacity are
defense contractors. They will most likely have some openings.
Lockheed has offices in Valley Forge, Moorestown, NJ (not far from
philly) also Northrop Grumman is huge in the Baltimore area. I
think there is a boeing plant around philly. And probably other
places.
I worked for Grumman and I surely could have settled down worked
there for 40 years and retired, I would have never become rich, but
the bill collectors would have been pacified. The work can be
interesting and excrutiatingly boring at the same time. But the
government is allocating billions for the war on terrorism there
will be RFPs out and engineering work to be done.
