Nobody remembers the CRASH of 1987? The Dow was at 3000 and dropped to 2000 and it was THE END OF THE WORLD! It changed everything. Suddenly, corporate types needed MBAs to attend the men's lavatory. The corporate world suddenly got serious about maximizing returns to investors while unbridled travel, entertainment, and three martini lunches began to die out.
Don't panic just yet.
