Yes and good advice, I'm paying down debt right now as who knows what will happen come spring, I'm contract so I don't get paid extra for all these extra hours but in this economy complaining is not an option.

What worries me and not just for the television industry but others as well is that when recovery happens any jobs will be part-time/on call and we'll all be working not at one or two jobs but three or four. It's also an employers market right now and for the next few years.

That's why I'm trying to push this live web truck/wirecast stuff as the days of million dollar sat trucks are not guaranteed I am hoping I can advance with this new technology but to get on full time I might have to go back to school and upgrade my skills and qualifications.

The hours are getting longer and I know my only chance of a "vacation" this year will be "if" I am covering the Waterloo and GTR regionals this season. Trying to get good news on TV is also becoming a real challenge, if there is a big go green push this year at competition then I have a good chance at it though with one station.
