I have to get this off of my chest. I worry about this from time to time, and with the economy going as it is, my worry comes in great waves that block my mind of pretty much everything else.
My husband works for a small company that provides promotional “thank you” materials for car dealerships and real estate agents. In his area, he works directly under the owner of the company. It’s only a small company, so he doesn’t make much in the way of the dinero, but he loves his job, and that’s worth more than a million dollars. He has job security…. Basically, the only thing that can make him jobless is if the company folds. That’s pretty much what I’m afraid of.
Obviously, this company depends on the dealerships to order their product. With the economy going how it is, there have been many dealerships that just can’t afford to order their products. Honestly, if they weren’t being so aggressive in looking for new business, I’m pretty sure they would have folded a long time ago.
The worry I have is this: My husband, although very intelligent and capable, does not have a college degree. He has tried to go back multiple times, but can’t get in more than one semester before he’s completely over it. He also doesn’t have too much work experience. Most of the places he’s worked at have been the typical high school part time positions, and those types of jobs won’t help us survive. I just don’t know what he would do if something were to happen. They’re cutting down his working hours to 32 a week, and this is usually their busy time!
Please keep my husband’s company in your prayers. I know there are people so much worse off than us, but it would be a HUGE problem if something were to happen with this job. Thank you!

Sending prayers your way.
Keeping you both in my prayers. This economy has hit us all and I hope that it doesn't hit you both any harder.
I agree with you as how important loving your job is. I love going to work every day; and I only wish John Dear could find something that pleased him so.
Done. Just said a prayer for both of you.
that's scary. you're in my prayers. even though my job pisses me off alot, i know how lucky i am being an RN. someone will always need us, right?
Hang in there, we've had our share of ups and downs in the job department and I know how scary it is. Just know that even without a college degree he can make whatever he wants happen...and if you stick together, you'll get through whatever comes your way.
