Echo To All

Twenty-Two Years of Job Creation Wiped Out in a Single Day

unfortunately, I am all too familiar with what it feels like to graduate during economic hardship.

I graduated, with honors with a science and engineering degree during the 2002 downturn. Took me 8 months to find a job, and i was greatful. The demoralizing factor did not inspire entrepreneurialism. I had to scrap around bartending/waiting tables for months.

ultimately, it made me a better person. forced my hand to understand the markets/economy and position myself to not be dependent on a 'job'.

In the long run charlie maybe right, many will learn or be forced to become risk tolerant enough to be an entrpreneur (as i sort of became), but in the short-run... the demoralizing selfpitty aspect of graduating with out a job sucks.
