Most of those 212,000 jobs would be temporary jobs converting the records from paper to digital. Some will remain, but most will go away as the records are converted.
Look at what is the most popular technologies out now, what was popular five years ago, and what looks like it will be popular five years from now. Get experience in the technologies that are in your fields of interest and either were popular before and now, or are gaining popularity now and look to be in it for the long hall.
The one thing you don't want is to get your experience on tech that is on it's way out the door. You will end up playing catch up for the rest of your career
Actually, welding is a pretty solid career. It can pay well if you are certified. Of course, it is often hard work, with a good chance of getting burned, it is bad for your eyes and skin, can be dangerous, often requires work in bad weather and in uncomfortable conditions.
Of course, if the writers of the storm botnet software read slashdot, they may be busy writing a better botnet to neutralize the vulnerability found and published.
Well, it would be if one could get new tapes and tape units approved. But, in my case, the person who did the approving was also my boss. He wouldn't approve and blamed me for the failed backup.
Yes, I was the IT staff that "lost critical data". O
f course, it was the CFO, who was my boss, who ordered me to overwrite the good current data with the backup of the server containing the historical data. The historical server had been taken down and used as a server for a different project. The CFO ordered me to restore the last backup of the historical data even after I reminded him that we had been having tape problems for the last two months and he had yet to approve the purchase of a new backup unit and new tapes..
So, after I had made and verified the backup of current data, I restored the historical data to the current server. When I went to restore the data, the restore failed. All the current data was gone. So, the CFO fired me because I did as he told me to do or be... fired.
I was an over the road (OTR) truck driver. I would go back to it, but that career has some serious issues.
Truck drivers are underpaid for people who have to know and abide by up to 51 but generally 49 different sets of regulations. Each state has commercial traffic laws and the federal government has laws as well.
The labor laws encourage truck drivers to break the law. They get paid by the mile, are limited in the speed they can drive, and in the amount of time they can drive. If one averages 50 miles an hour and gets paid $.40 per mile and can only drive 10 hours per day, one can make $200.00 per day which is about $60,000 per year. But, if one gets paid $.40 per mile, but averages 60mph and falsifies one's log book to drive 14 hours a day, one makes $336 per day which is $100,000 per year. Would you be willing to break the law with a small chance of getting caught if it would provide an extra $40,000 per year?
OTR drivers only get 1 day of home time for each week they are out. You are gone a month and get a whole 4 days to spend with friends and family. So, cheating spouses and divorce are rampant.
Next, remember most of the infrastructure currently in place was built in the 50s and 60s. Back then trucks were 20% shorter than they are now. That results in having to manuver an 85ft semi in an area designed for a 65ft semi. Oh, and there are not enough places to park a semis, which is why you will see trucks parked on the side of the interstate and on the side of on-ramps.
If it weren't for those negatives, I would go back to trucking in a heartbeat.
Yes, because everyone is expected to be on-call for one week every month, often to be paged out in the middle of the night to fix a problem, then expected to show up for work the next day at 8AM. Oh, wait, no, they aren't.
Well, everyone in the company is expected to work 50-80 hours a week, and do actual work not go out to three martini lunches, having steak dinners with clients, or taking same to strip clubs. Oh wait, no, they aren't.
Well, everyone is expected to know seventeen different fields, some of which don't go together say requiring a Unix admin to know Exchange and SQLServer.
And, to do this for as little as $30K per year.
Oh, and let us not forget, considering people with five or ten years experience as "entry level" or "junior" people.
And, the liberty dollar is against the law. The Constitution of the United States, in Article 1 section 8, reserves the right to coin money in the U.S. to the federal government.
The Congress shall have Power... To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures
You have just suggested he commit a federal offense.

Sounds like they have all the symptoms of smoking way too much pot.
California law would prevent TVs manufactured to specifications acceptable elsewhere, most especially in the state of manufacture, from being sold in CA. CA would be effectively dictating to other states to what specification TVs must be made, usurping the powers of both the other states and the federal government.
The barrier is that manufacturers would either be forced to not sell in CA, make TVs specifically for CA, or follow the dictates of CA even if they are not a CA company.
But, it does force manufacturers to produce good specific to CA, including manufacturers out of state. This law would effect interstate commerce, which is the domain of the federal government. CA could say "all TVs made in CA must meet these requirements" but CA can not say "If you want to sell TVs made in your state here, they have to meet these requirements."
The California Emissions Standards received a special exemption. Those emissions standards should never have been allowed to stand because they effect interstate commerce, which is the sole providence of the federal government, per the Constitution.

What exactly is it you do for a living?
You mean they should do what the article says they are doing?
FTA:
Imagine that.
No. He said he wanted to go to school and had missed the bus. Unlike many adults, he accepted responsibility for what he did.
He just said he learned to drive playing the game, which explains why he hit some many things, ran off the road, and crashed into a tree.
That is exactly right. Try reading the Constitution some time.
And, the liberty dollar is against the law. The Constitution of the United States, in Article 1 section 8, reserves the right to coin money in the U.S. to the federal government.

I guess this means that Sol is raping everyone on Earth with it's neutrino flux.
If you can't see the problem with that statement, you are blind.
However, California does not have the right to put in place rules that will effect the manufacturing and sale of products in other states.
But, the rule effects what manufacturers in other states can ship and sell in CA. That is interstate commerce.
California law would prevent TVs manufactured to specifications acceptable elsewhere, most especially in the state of manufacture, from being sold in CA. CA would be effectively dictating to other states to what specification TVs must be made, usurping the powers of both the other states and the federal government.

I don't think they can do it. This falls afoul of the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution.
