Silver Lining in the Financial Crisis?

I've been trying to think of good news, or potentially good news, that might come from the financial mess we're in right now. I came across this editorial this morning, which projects a 15 percent cut in the number of jobs in the financial industry.

Perhaps a softening in the employment outlook (and concomitant ridiculous bonus structure) for the financial industry will make working there a less sought after option for young, smart people. We need a HELL of a lot more engineers and scientists in this country, so maybe some will turn in that direction.

There has to be something good about this.....
