This isn't meant to be UK-centric but here goes.....

I just wanted to get a feel for what my fellow Engineers thought about the present credit-crisis and the affect it has had on your own jobs and job prospects.

Do you feel that the job market has been squeezed?

Or is there any difference between now and twelve months ago?

At a time when we in the UK have had a few decreases in mortgage rates (nothing as aggressive as those in the US) but are suffering a rapid rise in basic costs such as electricity, gas & food, I have been wondering......

Where do I go from here?

Any thoughts on how the fires will effect home prices?
 
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Marge takes a job as a real estate agent, and her boss (Lionel Hutz) tells her the difference between telling the truth (head shaking side to side) and the truth (head nodding in agreement).

She is shown a picture of a house on fire, to which she replies, "That one's on fire!" To which the boss replies, "Motivated seller!".
