I have discovered a useful website, http://www.bls.gov/oco/ It is a database of careers that describes working conditions, education that is needed for entry into that career, pay, and an outlook in jobs growth. No surprise that the manf. field is expected to decline. Of course the big field right now is the medical field, exp nurses. I hope this website helps, I know it has helped me in my research.

Thanks for the information wizzard. I have to say I don't really understand why they are raising the buyout offer right now when they have not even closed a quarter of the plants yet. It would seem to me that the smart thing to do would see what the take rate is after a lot of the plants are closed at the current buyout rate. Of course, I'm glad they are not, just trying to think from the company perpective I guess, lol.

Could ya tell us wiz if ford goes with the company wide buyouts, will they still offer the education package, as gm did not offer that option. Also, will they raise the senority requirement on the education package or the cash buyout offer. Right now the requirement is only 1 year. Thanks for your time in answering our questions!!

Hello to everybody on the board. I would like to know if the buyout changes to 140,000, will the senority requirement still be 1 year as it is right now? I would also like to know if the education buyout will still be a choice. Thanks for the info.
