RE:"I'm trying to imagine a bunch of unemployed financial analysts and Circuit City clerks picking strawberries in the fields down by Monterey." Dunno about strawberries per se but wasn't that kind of what they were doing before they became analysts, clerks, mortgage brokers and RE agents? When we were kids we picked watermelons, threw newspapers, rode the garbage truck and mowed lawns for extra money. Now kids just get an allowance...well, they did until recently.
