What's next?

So banking is dying:  http://www.slate.com/id/2205995/
VC is next:  http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/06/the-end-of-venture-capital-as-we-know-it/
And PE is shuttering, due to lack of debt.  

And MBA's always get in too late - look at the Soifer index http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/25/newest-harvard-mbas-flocked-to-wall-street/

It feels like we're recruiting for dying industries.  Sure I admit, I'm doing banking for the summer, but I'm not exactly bullish on getting more than one or two offers, if there are any banks left by January.

So the question is:  what are we missing that could be hot?  Is it entrepreneurship?  A new financing product?  Something completely different?

No answers today, but worth asking the question...
