It depends, if you make a REALLY BIG bomb, you'll only have a job until they set it off. But if you make a LOT OF LITTLE BOMBS, you may have a job for quite a while as the population naturally recovers each time. Thankfully, I have never had a job where the point was to design things to kill people, and I am rather proud of that fact. > > >If you like more adsventure, the US Border Patrol in Tucson has TV and > >radio ads going, > >and their equipment is becoming VERY hitech so there could be a match > >there.

Phoenix is where the Devil takes vacations when Hell gets too cold for him. Air conditioning in the desert southwest is mostly done with swamp coolers, which use evaporative cooling, much cheaper than refrigeration. Phoenix is, of course, home to Motorola and Microchip, amongst others. Motorola lays off about 7000 people every two or three years.
