The recent economic downturns might have many searching for a recession-proof career. That is only natural given the mass job lay-offs.
Why not try to become a psychic?
According to wired.com psychics are doing a booming business thanks to all the turmoil in the marketplaces. "People are more depressed and I can easily make a $150 to $200 a day" brags one on-line psychic interviewed.
Professor Gita Johar of the Columbia Business School said that the upturn in psychic business happens every time the economy takes a hit.
"If the future is uncertain, people turn to psychics," he explained. "You have an illusion then that you can then control the outcome. People want the illusion of control."
