Is your job safe?

I was just reading the chapter this week in "The Next Millionaires" on job security. Pilzer talks about how home based businesses will be the wave of the future because it is more the "safe" job. He goes on to say that years agi, parents and teachers would tell you to go to school and get a good job. Today, people need to go to school, study in multiple areas, and go in business for themselves.

I know that people are losing their jobs around the country on a daily basis. Today really hit home for us. Today GM announced it would be shutting down 4 of its production plants, including the one here in Janesville, WI. This puts about 2,500 people out of a job. This does not include people indirectly affected by the layoff such as local suppliers and so forth.

So whatever your skill may be, maybe it's time to start looking into securing your future by creating your own business. With today's events, I'm just that much happier that I've found the right business to be involved with.
