this is not going to last for ever. It will take another "route" with the 2008 elections.

As an insider, I will say this: Nothing lasts forever, but with all the work available, if you're with the right company this will last at least for the next 4-5 years. Remember also that a very large portion of this industry (i.e. baby boomers) will begin retiring in 4-5 years.

Sweet.

I would be one of those (future) engineers looking at Houston.

Hopefully the Democrats don't flush the economy down the crapper in 2008 with new taxes, regulations, etc.

You are also making the assumption the democrats will win in 2008. Do not count on it. The 2,974 people who died on 911 vote republican in every election. Plus Republicans have the voting machines. They'll pull it off.

We have a president that was NEVER elected in either election yet there he is, running the planet right into the ground.
