Amen, Mike! I agree with your no-entitlement perspective.  I think in general 
Americans _expect_ to have a good job simply because they survived college.

IMHO, the only way you'll keep your job (technical or not) is if you provide a 
real benefit to your company.  This benefit may be in terms of profit, 
political or other.  And, as they said on the Sopranos last week:

"You're only as good as your last envelope."

Later,
Jeff
