Then there's people like me. I got tired of being laid off 33 years
ago, so I made my own job. I'm not rich but I haven't been laid off
since.

I ended up doing the same thing and I went an entirely another way.
I knew the computer hardware business was doomed by the mid 60s. They
are not going to pay you much for swapping parts.
I went with the electrical biz.

I went out on my own in the late 1970's when the AAAA ad/pr agency I was
working for was partially sold to a NY buyer who I thought was a shady
operator. Turned out I was right. I had three clients the day
I opened for business, and two of them are still active client. One of
the three is an occasional client. Earned more than $200k my first year,
which was just about what I was earning at the agency as a senior
account exec.

Yeah, everybody believes you.....NOT!
