Seriously, put some time into thinking about:
1. Ression proof stuff / New Government things
The problem with this is the "new government stuff" will take a while, like 6-12 months minimum, to come on line. They are trying to find "shovel ready" projects, i.e. ones where you can start then tomorrow with funding. California, with the e-quake codes, etc, is tough to get things started quickly. Other states will be able to get things online faster.
2. Things that will do well in a down economy.
My wife and I own a business where we find companies that need spare parts and used equipment. In a down economy, they will be fixing stuff more than replacing it.
You might think about what you can do to turn a strip mall that isn't selling retail space, into something else which will sell. You then go sell this to the owner. Or apply this kind of idea to some other part of architecture. Go make your own future.
3. Get yourself ready in case things turn out not so bad after all.
I have a feeling that as soon as the credit markets un-freeze, things will start to improve.
