Yes this is all true, I got a bit confused when we went from long bows to motorcycles (I didn't know they still made Trumps). <br /> <br />I am also concerned about globalisation and its affect on things, some things i am as scared as hell about. Small thing power tools where is this all going to end, you can't ignore them very cheap and pretty good. Airlines what was regarded as a move toward <br />monopoly has now become a fight to survive (Qantas - Air New Zealand merger). <br /> <br />Again we were concerned about monopoly of the media but really these days there are no nationla boundaries, I didn't believe it when I heard Ruper Murdoch espous same about a decade ago but its true, even here in far away Australia, we get the same programmes as New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore thats international enough. <br /> <br />Service industries are just that, providing a service to people not a product and if we are not producing product where are we. Here in Queensland we have lead the world in Sugar Cane production for a century, foolishly we sold the technology to Brazil; now that industry is nearly dead, can't compete on quality and price and we did it to ourselves el Nino hurts too. <br /> <br />However there are other jobs in service industruies besides burgers etc. what about being skipper of your own 40 ' Catamaran in the Whitsundays, thats what i was going to do but my knees gave out. That is agood occupation in a service industry Tourism, and I have the experience, qualifications and money to do it. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards Ian
