	<description><![CDATA[I can't believe I am reading this on CNN.  This poor man got his heater cut off because he was late in paying his electricity bills.. He froze to death as a result.

In a financial turmoil.... getting any job is good even if it is for short term.  A lot of companies are downsizing and doesn't have the capacity to contract.

	<description><![CDATA[It is often said that a crisis can make or break a man.  This financial crisis has shook up my senses.  With a rapid shrinking job market, the only wise thing to do is to take things in my hands and start looking for things to do to generate income to pay for my bills.Waiting haplessly by my handphone and hoping that I may land a job is a no brainer.
