Remind me 2000 was crazy year.

I was in school, hi-tech was hot. Many company wanted the students and promised to give tuition if you work for the company after college.I easily found my first intern job after auditing a couple of undergraduate classes and made easy money without many skill.

Those years I was too busy on MS degree to play stock, avoid money loss later. All saved money during school bought our first house which doubled price 4 years later.

I am just lucky.
