Which random extra skills should I try and pick up?

[PAH]

SEO if you're doing web stuff

Or AppStore SEO if you're doing apps. With over 100,000 iPad apps* already I think this is the next big thing for those without their head in the cloud.

... I get the feeling the magic money machine is an industry on the wane....

Thanks for the laugh, that was a good one.*

No, really.

*Unless you really think so. In which case I think the plebs believe the media too much.

[DimPrawn]

Yeah a Masters at least.
Although the Certificate in Quantitative Finance is highly regarded.

Certificate in Quantitative Finance - CQF | Financial Mathematics and Financial Engineering course

Or a Masters in Quantitative Easing and get a job working for Merv.

There will still be money to be made but the more ridiculous excesses of the last 10 years are over. Lets not forget there was a massive bubble that is slowly and surely deflating, and no doubt there is more pain to come. I also think the UK financial services sector has been quite badly damaged by the whole thing, I expect that in 10-15 years the distribution of power will look somewhat different and London will no longer be the centre of the universe.

I actually think we will see a renaissance of British engineering & manufacturing as talent gravitates away from the city.

I marvel that the intelligent are so deluded and really do not know what is going on.

Perhaps it's my assumption of intelligence that is to blame.

On reflection yes I think that is the case as the "renaissance of British engineering & manufacturing as talent gravitates away from the city" remark shows.

Class. That had me spluttering over my keyboard.

Well it's that or a renaissance of British fast food and dole bludging. This prediction lark isn't an exact science.
