Dear Brittany, Keep the spirit, I started out in 1981 from Ohio State University as a top student, I went to work in Southern California where they began to suffer from a slow down, we had to take a ten percent paycut with many senior people let go. Things finally stabalized until 1992 when the economy was crashing again. That one forced me to reevaluate things and I started my firm Site Concepts International with my Partner Peter Imrik who was a top student at Cal Poly Pomona. I remember people saying “Stay alive till 95” now its 2009 and we are still here. We have had to be very careful with things and we did have a little slowdown after Sept. 11th but we have kept things going and luckily we focused on an international market which has allowed us to travel the world and work on many exciting projects. So far we have not been hurt by the current slowdown and last year was our best year since we relocated to Florida from Northern California. Good luck and I am sure things will work out for use. Just be adaptable. Sincerely, Eric Bowyer, Site Concepts International
