Regarding the "Hot Jobs" article, it's kind of off on the part about Entertainment. While it has been pretty "recession proof" in the past, it's not the case now. With the devastating writer's strike and this year's threatening actor's strike, partnered with online media, the movie industry has been hurting longer than the economy has.
I was just reading about I-bonds a few days ago on another blog I frequent (doctorhousingbubble, they were mention in the oct 21, 2008 article).
It's a big shame they cut the cap down to $5000/yr. It sounds like the return on the I-bonds are substantially better than other methods of saving.
Hot job?
Process server! More lawsuits, more divorces, more work for these unsung heroes.
Just keep a gun with you.
If you wanna tell your kid about the credit crisis then tell them that you are broke and so are they. That's the way the market works
