Security's rare at any time, I've always found hope in the fact that everything's in cycles. Lousy if you're IN one (such as the recession when I first left university, or the dotcom burst), but they will eventually change. Not starving to death in the interim is a bit more of a challenge.<br><br>But there's hope, from one creative generalist to another. I have a screenwriting degree, worked as a game designer, technical writer, marketing writer (for software and for handmade soap), wrote Policy and Procedures for the government, wrote and answered RFPs for a consulting firm, wrote newsletter material and executive announcements for a bank and found my way to corporate commincations from a HR perspective at another bank. A weird trip. There's a through-line: being both general and communicative. Sometimes it works. Late to your posting, but an interesting piece nontheless.
