From say, December 1995(An arbitrary date) to now, in every single month,you could find posts/emails/comments all over the internet claiming that in that month/year:

- The economy was in a slump and was going to get worse

- The job market was in its way situation ever

- All the good ideas had been taken, no hanging fruits anymore

- It was a bad time to study CS/law/medicine/engineering/math/physics

- The good times were over

- More and more people were "leaving the field"
