Yeah, I think he drew the wrong conclusion in this particular case. It's not that "this economy" is terrible but he succeeded due to his personal unique excellence, but probably more that the perception his friends/family had of a bad job market is not actually correct for tech. I mean he might be amazing too, but he nonetheless succeeded in a good job market.
It's actually not really a bad job market for most white-collar professionals. If you look at the job losses and the unemployment rates, the people who are having a tough time in the current economy are mostly blue-collar workers without college degrees. A strange exception seems to be law, which has somehow ended up with an unexpected oversupply of new grads.
