I see a huge dichotomy economy happening,

I know entrepreneurs and realtors having the most profitable year of their lives in 2009,

I know realtors who have not sold anything in 2009.

I know unemployed engineers having the worst year of their lives.

I see people starting new businesses and having tremendous success from the start,

I see people unemployed for over a year now and no closer to finding work that will replace the income they had in their last jobs.

In short, the future is what you make of it I guess.
