If that was the case, wouldn't there be more job openings? I moved back to the region after spending several years outside working within the field. Now that I have returned, I am finding it almost impossible to find employment. I have applied for several jobs, ones that based on my background I think I am quite qualified for, but am unable to even get an interview. Its been very frustrating. Given the lack of opportunities available in the field, I couldn't support someone's decision to enter the field. I am finding the idea that so many leaders are retiring?
