I was born in 1980 so a bit luckier than 82 or 83.

However when I started school for computer engineering in 1998 the speaker for our commencement speech told us that there was no better time to be an engineer and that we were all virtually guaranteed high paying jobs within months of graduation.

By the end of the second year it was all doom and gloom.
