Sportswriter or sprinkler installer? Trib's McGrath ponders...

Just shows that a lot of industries are sucking wind right now.

Show me an industry with jobs waiting to be filled and I'll take a long, hard look. But everytime I talk with anyone, in any industry, I hear the same long tales of woe. "Don't get into this field," they tell me. "It's a pile of quicksand."

Is it better to be an unemployed newspaper person or an unemployed banker/real estate agent/ carpenter/mechanic/salesman? Doesn't matter, cause when you're unemployed, you're.... well, unemploayed.
