Got this from Bear Market Investments. Its a little selfish on my part( see the bold letters). Anyway looks like a light in the end of the tunnel to me.
The 2009 economy and your wallet
Your strategy if you’re young: The U.S. economy is probably going to need fewer investment bankers and mortgage brokers for a long while. Younger people can invest in very different kinds of skills. If Obama’s New Deal 2.0 takes root, this would be a good time to be studying civil engineering or green building design. Health care and education were always relatively recession-proof; Obama’s plan would help to keep them that way.
Your strategy if you’re mid-career: Your way ahead is tougher. You can’t just quit your marketing job and start installing solar panels. But it certainly makes sense to look out for new kinds of business opportunities you can bring to your employer or perhaps new fields you can become the in-house expert on. For example, if you’re in finance, you might start learning about public works financing or what’s happening in the alternative-energy sector.
