[quote=scaredycat]so, what’s a good line of work to try to direct your kids into?
I was thinking science teacher….[/quote]
Farming, or anything to do with food. Preferably organic. Green/alternative energy would also be good. Carpentry, plumbing and mechanics. People certainly won’t be able to upgrade to a new car every few years, so there will be a demand to keep the cars they have running as long as possible. And health care will always be in demand at some level. For those with strong stomachs, the mortuary business never has a shortage of clients 😉
For the foreseeable future, until our fiscal situation improves, I just don’t think it’s going to make sense for young people to carry the debt load of heavy student loans for professional degrees when the prospects of employment are so dim. A JD or an MBA will be a complete waste of time at this point. I think that an investment in a good, solid trade will be the way to go. Until green shoots sprout again.
