Y2K TO CAUSE JOB BOOM FOR SOME

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- For some folks, Y2K could lead to lots of "Y2-pay." According to business trend expert John Challenger, certain professions will get a boost if the computer glitch really does shut down the world. He predicts a high demand for private security officers who will be hired to protect citizens and businesses from possible looters. Barter agents could also profit off any Y2K panics by brokering deals for goods and services if there's any cash shortages. There may be a need for "Y2K realtors" to find good property in the countryside for folks ready to flee the city when infrastructures shut down. Challenger also expects there could be plenty of moolah for "Y2K therapists" to help people deal with all the stress and trauma -- even if the computer meltdown doesn't happen.
