    My wife graduated law school in 2010, Summa Cum Laude, and just barely got a job at a low rent firm.

    Five years later, she’s earning twice the money at a much nicer place for not much more work, because the glut of students from '08-'10 caused grads in '11-'14 to look elsewhere. Suddenly there was a huge supply gap and you could write your own ticket.

    Moral of the Story: Get good at something and stick with it. Markets go up, markets go down, but skills pay the bills in the end.
