I interpreted medymed's comment to mean it's a good time to already be in grad school. If that's the case then you likely don't have a family (for all the reasons you just mentioned). I don't think people are advocating now as a good time to switch from industry to grad school.

Correct, no change, not if you already have a job or the ready prospect of getting a new one. But if you were a regional manager overseeing a dozen restaurants in a now bankrupt chain, your job prospects aren't very good, and retraining a long upward hill battle.
