I am in good standing with a local golf and country club so I can probably be guaranteed work once I return home for the summer.

My company just got bought by a very wealthy company. We make something that they do not, but want to get their hands in. The meachinery and molds are very large and very numerous. So moving the operation to california where they would need to hire and train a whole new work force would make no sense. It would take a year of downtime and training and working out the bugs before it wouldt start being profitable again. Plus, they could't hire mexicans cause of Govt contracts requireing them to be made by US citizens.
