    I got my first job in August and am still there. I'm worried I'll eventually get cut, and when/if I do I'll be out for good.

    Still in. Unless coach makes a substitution, I'm in it for the whole game.

    In it, but my passion and drive has plummeted. Newsroom atmosphere is toxic at this point.

    Still in it for the foreseeable future ... or at least as long as it will have me.

    Things are going so bad, I feel like I'm going to jinx it if I answer this question honestly.

    I voted I am because I still do freelance assignments here and there.

    Still in, but no longer in sports. I've got a few years more than Spnited has until retirement, and I'm not optimistic that I'll make it that far in the business.

    Still in. I know I am not safe, but if I am going down, I am going down with a fight. Want me to blog? Bring it on. Twitter? Yeah, I can figure that out. Live chats? Yes, sir. Video? I'll take it, and appear in it.
    Maybe it's all just shit being thrown up against the wall, but it's shit that keeps food in my kids' belly.

    You and I are the same person, apparently.
