saw it coming... kinda
About two years ago, it was becoming clear to me that the IT market was in trouble, my employer was going to be downsizing and outsourcing even more than they already had. I was getting dissatisfied anyway, so I applied to a university as a mature student, got a place to study Structural Engineering, and started that September. I'm now halfway through a degree course - my first, since I didn't get to go straight from school.

The irony is that I know that my employer hasn't done most of the things that concerned me at the time, my former colleagues all still have their jobs, and the company shares are holding up better than their competitors. A good thing too, since those shares are going to fund the rest of my degree, and possibly a Master's. Currently I have no job, no salary, and would be shoppiing at Lidl anyway, crunch or no crunch.
