However, the government remains unmoved. It is evident that even as the Prime Minister and the Congress party tom-tom the goal of making India a “Knowledge Superpower”, it cares two hoots for the welfare of teachers and students.

Tomorrow is the free webinar with Mark Hovind , where we ask him about this recession and what he has learned and what he predicts based on past data.  SIGN UP FOR THE FREE WEBINAR HERE .  And come a few minutes early…  It starts on Tuesday, July 21 at 11am MST (That is mountain time… if you are Eastern you add two hours.  If you are in Pacific you subtract one hour.  If you are in Arizona you… well, I have no idea what people in Arizona do.) Mark developed this graph where you can see the highs and lows of the economy from 1940: Interesting that a few decades ago the HIGHS where really high and the LOWS were really low… but since the early 70’s there hasn’t seemed to be a significant LOW… until now.

Here are some of the questions I want to ask Mark (questions are relevant for job seekers, career managers, business owners, CEOs of Me, Inc., and those working for someone else): What does this mean for us TODAY?
