Job Security Myth Crumbles The Gold Coast, Australia -- In the wake of Enron, Andersen and Worldcom, to name a few, people are waking up to the realization that job security is a myth. And it's dawning on them that if they want to get ahead financially, they have to take matters into their own hands. These are the words of Michael Ross, co-publisher of The Great Ideas Letter. A business publication for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs which can be found online at http://www.sowpub.com/greatideas "In the old days, job security may have meant something. But these days, with the speed at which technology changes, it's more cost effective for a company to hire a new person who already has the needed skills than to re-train existing personel," Ross continues. "No one likes getting a pink slip. But they are a fact of life. And as long as companies have to do what's best for the shareholders, and that means increasing profits, then older staff with old skills will be let go." "Thankfully," Ross adds, "more and more people are realizing that job security isn't all it is made out to be and are looking for alternate sources of income. Some people are looking for ideas they can grow into a full-time income. Some are looking for ideas they can use to make some part-time money with. And others want to have ideas on hand just in case they lose their job. No matter what their reasons are, they want the ideas because they realize, job security is a myth." ### For Further Information Contact: [Home] [Press] [Frequently Asked Questions] The Great Ideas Letter © 2002 by Michael Ross.
