Of course one would wish for growth after any sort of market correction (which is what I’m actually wishing for, not a true recession). That’s the only way money can be made from a given market.
As far as the date of a correction, a lot of pundits predicted .com and housing would go on longer than they did.

Good point about trades work. I’ve often wondered whether I’d have been better off apprenticing as an electrician.[/quote]
I like doing thing with my hands… but I’m not sure I would want that to be my job. It’s one thing to handyman work at your own house.
I don’t think that I would want to be an electrician in hot and cold weather, in dusty conditions and other conditions hazardous to you health. I suppose sitting on your ass is also hazardous to your health.
I wouldn’t mind being an architect though.. I think that in another life I would have been a famous architect.
Pay your dues for 5-10 years, then start your own electrical contractor’s firm. Let others do the scut work.
I’m really bad at paying dues… Plus I can’t deal with people who are not fast thinkers who “get it”. Dealing with sales and customer service would be a major pain.
I want to be an arrogant famous architect who can out of hand dismiss other people’s input and do it my way.
Lol. Both of my parents were architects, and the amount of stupid they had to deal with at various times was epic.

I didn’t know who he was so I had to look him up (don’t watch much TV).
If Ted Moseby is a jerk like I think he is, then that me! I was waiting in line behind some klutz. She didn’t use the waiting time to get ready to place her order and took minutes to decide! Then she had to fish for her wallet inside her purse. I wanted to slap her.
I knew exactly what I wanted and had my credit card in hand.
