Where do you see opportunities?

It looks like the US economy is going to be in the toilet for another four years at a minimum. That is, unless, the Fed ends up launching us into another debt fueled bubble that results in an even more catastrophic collapse. Combine this with the US's numerous structural problems and it is tough not to be depressed for the outlook for my generation.

Where do you see opportunities going forward? What options are available to someone with little bit of capital and an ability to take some risks? I've considered business school but for obvious reasons the indentured servitude associated with $100,000 in student loan debt is unappealing to me, plus I feel like there is no substitute for real world experience.
