Oh come on, is it really THAT bad? :)
As much as I like pontificate on the doom and gloom of our current economy, there are PLENTY of opportunities left in the US for an educated worker.
- osipov 17y agoTrue, there are many opportunities but in my experience the trend is pointing to fewer opportunities, more competition and less money to be made even by the most talented. Here's an interesting post by Kent Beck who is finding that it is more difficult to make a living from his craft: http://www.threeriversinstitute.org/blog/?p=231 http://www.threeriversinstitute.org/blog/?p=231
- fauigerzigerk 17y agoNo, I don't think it's _that_ bad. Maybe a good comparison is with the UK circa 1920. The empire is in steep decline, other powers are on the rise. But during that time the UK was still one of the better places in the world, just not the center of it any longer.
