Would be interesting to see results for a wide-spreaded variety of SPF members...obviously, a people with some grey matter behind eyes, having mostly a technical education.

I am a civil servant working for the state as tax specialist. They are not going to get rid of me.
We have studied, with professional interest, the consequences of the 1929 crash and its paralelism with the current situation. In general, it tends towards rioting and violence, perhaps even to a war.
I sincerely hope that someone more intelligent than myself tells me that I am wrong.

That's one unhappy looking cat. Seems he/she knows that the fridge is where the food is supposed to be, but it's empty...

Been there done that got the t-shirt and burned it. I worked as a game artist on the Sierra/EA Golf sim (FPS Golf to Tiger 2004) and got laid off. Later they wanted me to come back to work for them - babysitting outsourced artwork. Basically, many developers are outsourcing to save a dime. Other than that you better stock up on Bawls and learn the phrases "crunch time", "deadline", "overtime" (unpaid of course as you'll be salaried- assuming you can beat out the other ten million who think making games is the life), the infamous "rolling deadline" (the way they make you keep working 16 - 20 hours a day, 7 days a week to "hit the deadline"- that keeps moving to the right) and forget having any kind of personal life. Me? I was working for a company that couldn't make payroll the first time I was asked to come back to good steady pay doing game dev. and I turned it down. I'd think LONG and hard about what you want to be doing in 10 or 20 years before going down that path.
