    wow, had this weird dream that something was happening at the pyramids of giza and they found a cache of seeds there, they have no idea where they came from, that are fresh grain seeds and are much more nutritious than what we currently have and they're not hybrid-developed. when fed to cows, chickens, hogs, the animals won't need growth hormones or antibiotics like are currently used, better milk, cheeses, eggs. much more nutritious flours for bread and cereals for human consumption as well and especially for those countries' peoples experiencing famine. those would be interesting careers for small production batches up the food chain. our returning vets could go into that sector, too. i imagine our brains would function so much better and stress levels would go way down. i hope it wasn't just a dream! best, anna martina

      This is still a very valid topic. I was made redundant by my Bank and the career counseling was not helpful due to me being in my 50's. I did some research and found a great company at www.transformanceinc.com that helped me and now things are turning around. Getting the right advice is essential.
