Jobs vanish, unemployment drops … WTF?

[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.

Oh my god. Armageddon has arrived. The lawyers are out of work. Crap, this could get ugly. Fast. Big, scary, evil roaming hordes of blood-thirsty cannibals living off the flesh of a tattered civilization lost to a moral decay, Goldman Sacs and peak oil.

Kids, breakout what ever weapon you have. I don’t care if it’s a baseball bat, gun….hell, even a damn 2×4 will do. Once the blood-thirsty zombie army of attorneys has to start giving up the 250K/yr jobs, private club memberships and starbucks lattes in 24K gold to-go mugs they are going to have to eat…something. The Ivy league zombie lawyers will eat the brains of a small child in seconds. Nasty bloodsuckers!

Seriously though, when did lawyers actually make something that contributed to GDP?

Finally, to all you paranoid, end-of-civilization heads espousing the eminent coming of ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome’, you need to take off the tinfoil, back away from the PC you’ve been sitting at for days straight and go outside and get some toxic, soot-laden air into your rotting, diseased lungs.

It’s going to be just fine. Really.

lawyers contribute justice. order. and efficiency. without lawyers, this country wouldn’t be worth as much. difficult to swallow, but it’s true. might not be worth 250k a year per head to the GDP, but definitely worth something. kiss a lawyer today.

I would debate that lawyers bring efficiency to an economic engine. The inverse could just as easily hold true and often does. For the small minority who actually contribute to justice and order, we’ll I’d even serve up some french kisses for them.

Furthermore, to state this country wouldn’t be worth as much is like saying I like ice cream better than cookies. 🙂
