Sorry to hear it, Al. Good luck to you. I hope you have a pretty big nest egg, because saying the market isn't what it used to be is like saying the Gulf Coast is a little dirtier than usual today.  

And forget the cheap beer. I think you'll be happier drinking good beer 1/3rd as often. I'd rather nurse an Aventinus for an hour than guzzle two Miller Lites.

I wonder seriously if anyone in Germany is hiring Americans. If I could get a job there I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Al,

The market is a bit better. Keep the usual things going when looking for
work. Networking is always the best. Took me a bit to fineally get a job
with a good company. Not exact pay I am used to, but not having to
starve by any means.
The market is lower for sure.

Good Luck....
