There is no question that we live in a very interesting time.



First, there's all the bad, mainly macro-economic news. You've heard or read about most of it: Mortgage-backed securities, construction collapse, zombie-banks, bailouts, auto industry collapse, etc.


Then, there are instances of other aspects of our economy.


For example, the AP reported today about a bill in Texas that approved incentives to graduate more nurses. Because there's a nursing shortage.


Another example - I know of two people who landed new roles within very reasonable search time-frames. The common elements? They were Software Developers. In Seattle.


Recommendation to all those college-aged kids out there: Medicine, Computer Science. Oh, and Food!
