I have ALWAYS been apprciative of being gainfully employed, moreso after getting laid off 3 times and not able to find anything for 1.5 years.
When I moved to NYC and my promised job evaporated because the company folded. I took a position as a delivery guy in the garment center for US$4.35/hr. I was used to working 3 days a month as a consultant getting US$125/hr, suddenly I'm working 60 hour weeks and taking home US$180 for the week. Pathetic in comparison. But I was grateful that I was working, when the recession of the 90s started. I had lots of friends graduating from college and waiting for a job and expecting to get yuppie PAID.
