Times change.
Conventional wisdom changes.
Last year's hot profession can be this year's glut.
And regional variations have an impact.
The Carolinas have a reputation as a great place to live and just a couple years ago the Triangle was second only to Silivalley in tech hiring. Throw in a new (undeclared) recession atop the already bad economy and it is actually wiser to be under-employed than unemployed.
Staying too long out of work is far worse for the resume.

(Less relevant here but still noteworthy: not all BAs are created equal. Look back to the days of the Wall Street occupation for examples.)
