This comparison is in today's economy. What if things turn around, after all things never stay the same and the world does not have much room to get worse but stay the same and hopefully up within foreseeable future.

That's where I would disagreed. I'm not a pessimistic person by nature, but I suspect that our current economic climate is "the good times." The amount of work currently available in some of the industries that I'm involved in is, to put is mildly, stunning. However, It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if, within 24 months, we're back in a position very similar to what we saw in 2008.

I hope I'm wrong.
