Credit counseling services looks like a booming industry. Oh, wait, that can probably be outsourced too! I’m wondering if whatever the govt and Federal Reserve do to try and bolster the economy after the housing market crashes will create yet another bubble. Or, is the next bubble already forming in commodities/gold? I have more questions than answers at this point.
Longer term, I think peak oil is going to cause some sort of boom in reshaping our society to be less car dependent and less energy consuming. Also, it may cause a return of local farms. These are thoughts for the future, but as for the next few years, I can’t think of any “hot” sectors of the economy at all.
