time to ask again... how is the job market or econamy to you?

Well, I've still managed to not go postal ;D
But the future of mail isn't looking rosy. Post pretty much relies on attrition to reduce employee numbers thankfully. But there is a lot of grumbling. That brings me down a bit because a lot of posties don't get that it is a dying vocation. They mock every management decision (many have the reasoning ability of Homer Simpson) I accept it and try and enjoy it while I can. I've been a postie for 3 1/2 years now. I was saying to someone the other day that this must be what it felt like for a farrier to have finished his apprenticeship just after WWI.

Hopefully you mean volunteer work. I'd hate to see you travel the world by getting mixed up with the wrong end of the slave trade. ;D

That couldn't be any worse than working for the National Health Service lol!

Give me a break. You can do locum work and still make out better. I used to work for medical staffing in the UK for a large hospital, and the cash these locum nurses get is unbelievable. Maybe you need to pack up and move up north. Besides your US indemnity insurance would be more than you earned for the both of you, as you will have to be insured. Then there is the issue of green cards, as as Shmokes said - its a tough market. So don't think they will be begging you to come over. There are cheaper alternatives.

Ark, I said that the legal job market is awful. The nursing job market is another thing altogether.

True, but there alternatives than having someone emigrate on the notion that there is sustained employment, when there is an active job market in this country. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the pond.
