Getting an MBA or other masters degree during a recession is a great idea because those who are unemployed will have a difficult time finding a long-term job. It takes two years to complete an MBA which allows a student to graduate into a much healthier job market and can easily earn an extra $15-50K annually because of their advanced degree. Brad,

I do agree that when the market is at it's lowest point investing any extra cash into a safe stock should generate a nice return as the economy strengthens and returns to full-force. My article didn't note specifically when the economy would be bottoming out. I'm not a financial analyst and don't want to give out specific financial advice to my readers. Pavel,

Degree doesn't solve any problems. Quiet honestly, it’s hard to agree with any of suggestion.

Degree doesn’t solve any problems.

However, I would be careful with #1, no investment is safe right now especially in the equity markets. The learning one is good and I should go work on that. Time to dust off all the books I have that I havn't read. This blog post could not come at a better time.

The market is still on a downward trend, and won't hit rock-bottom until the stimulus money kicks in (which probably won't be until the 4th-5th round of stimulus payments hit the market). For those looking to invest, there are some great international opportunities out there, as well as alternative business ventures here in the states. There are certain industries that are considered recession-proof (liquor/wine being one of them). Investing into a vineyard, alcohol distribution company, or even a local bar may not be such a bad idea for those that are morally at-ease with that particular industry. Another recommendation I have for people experiencing the strife of the recession is Look Within. Learn more about yourself- who you are, what you want to be, etc. It may not make much sense, but when was the last time you thought about your goals and ambitions as a child/teen/young adult? Earn some good karma points by volunteering at your local church or soup kitchen. Help others that may not be able to help themselves, and you'll be a changed person by the time the sun comes out again.
