It seems as if that is the only good news reported here, yes. What markets do you refer to?
I'm probably gonna edit the post since I'm probably not knowledgeable enough on the topic to speak so strongly about it. I've considered/gone to school for; emt, nursing, journalism, and environmental science, having been discouraged from all after researching job placement rates or what the typical jobs ends up being. I'm petrified of working an office job for the following 40 years after graduation and I don't think academia is my thing ether, totally wonderful for some people just not my fancy I guess. It's easy to generalize the unknown though especially coupled with the fear of wasted time and the knowledge of not having failed (for lack of having ever tried). I won't go back and edit for the sake of continuity in the discussion but I'll take back what I said as being an impulse rambling thought. It's just intimidating to feel like your choosing your entire life path, even though I know you can switch of up.
