No idea, wasn't nearly as interested in economics then, as I am now.

This is not your father's recession, it's your grandfathers. The world, and indeed/especially the developed economies will not easily bounce back from this, IMO. Now is not a good time to try to get into something new, better to find a safe, boring job with a regular pay check, bunker down and sit it out. Personally I would think a good time to get into something new would be in 3-5 years when employment picks back up again.

I actually clicked on a link that brought me here because of the title. "fixed income is a sucker bet" I though fixed income meant bonds, as they are regarded as "fixed income" products.
