While I used to have a decent amount of savings, (just savings account though, no real long term solution yet) the economic downturn has eaten away all of that. Of course as a grad student I can take out more loans, but why would I want to do something like that? So after cuts in hours, pay, etc, but being able to keep a job I feel I am better of than some in this wonderful mitten of a state, (MI is just Adams Smith's invisible hand of the market smacking sense into the rest of the country... World).
So if anyone has need for a shipping consultant and logistics specialist, graduate studies can be put on hold for a good opportunity, AND I'm willing to relocate.
