I find your logic flawed Sparr... "out of work doctors become accountants, out of work accountants become fast food workers, out of work fast food workers have nowhere to go" Why would a doctor displace an accountant, when there are plenty of professional accountants? There are plenty of jobs out there if you have the skill set to fill them. If you can build electrical assemblies or aircraft structure I can put you to work tomorrow for 50k + if you can troubleshoot and repair the same 70k + . That skill is in short supply, and there are no doctors,ditch diggers, or accountants lining up for those jobs. If you're a one trick pony, you can expect to be out of work at some time in your life. I decided to close a business which was based on the disposable income of other businesses. In this economy,I went from six figures to two pretty quickly... calling on a different skill set, I had my choice of jobs and was employed rather quickly. In your industry, if you limited yourself to the knowledge of only one computer language, would you be a viable job candidate,or self limited? In this state we are fortunate to have the Hope scholarship which will pay for any certification program for any adult. If more people used programs such as this and broadened their pool of available skills, perhaps the unemployment level would not be as high. While there is a serious economic crunch going on, and unemployment is high, there are plenty of unfilled jobs out there.
