The service industries have been fast growing for several years...HOWEVER, as a general rule, the pay is poor. And included in the service industries, is the temporary job market. Very few if any benefits, and lower pay....

So continue trying to figure out WHAT will be growth industries, providing higher pay, and hopefully some benefits, as well as a product that people want.....Just look what Bill Gates and Paul Allen did nearly by themselves...Look how many industries are here now that weren't here in 1980!!

I disagree that tech won't come back. It WILL come back. IMO, it had better come back, or we will all be out on the bread lines.....and that includes teachers, and government workers. Can you imagine no paychecks, and therefore no taxes....? I can't either.

Heck, what will we peons need computers for? We're going down for the count. Watch out Canada! Americans will be crossing their borders in droves looking for work

You're so emotional and pessimistic. That is NOT the attitude that will lead us out of ANYTHING. Best you just sit on your ass, worry yourself sick, and get out the way. Canada is nice this time of year.
