Too true, Hootie, I've been there.

Just as I was finishing my Ph.D. in extension horticulture, Jimmy Carter cut out almost every job in my field. It was horrible. I had to finish up and work where I could. That led me here where I met my husband and had my great family, but that's another story.

Still, I had to go back to school and totally retrain in Spanish and even teach in high schools for awhile until I could reestablish my credentials. Nobody ever, ever thinks their whole field could be practically destroyed with the stroke of a pen...well, it can and it has been.
