38. Where are the jobs? What do you say to the computer/telecom
expert, layed off in their 40's with an M.S., a mortgage almost paid off, working 2 or 3 part time jobs who finds out their spouse was diagnosed with cancer? Sell your house to pay the medial bills until that money runs out and you declare bankruptancy? Don't even think about the kids going to college, or retirement, because you'll "own" that too... I guess India's hiring, but I hear it's pretty tough to emigrate, they are full already. Maybe that's too hypethetical, but I have a friend in almost that exact spot. Maybe a simpler question, what would you suggest a field of study for a bright young high school graduate of modest means? Assuming they didn't inherit a bunch of real estate or somethng.
