The world over people are losing or fearing loss of jobs. Impact of a down turn can be brutal and the first signs of recession are job cuts.
This brings me to one important point. We need to step back and look back at our lives. See how the world has shaped us across the world. We don't have skills to be able to earn our livelihood independently and when put to test in hard circumstances we crumble because we don't know how to survive in absence of jobs. All our education and our upbringing has been riddled with faults and here are most of us, always fearing a loss of job scenario. Even in this scenario the only step which the government is able to suggest is giving loans _ to anyone who wishes to take that and start some type of economic activity. On one side people have been put under a mountain of debt and on the other side these same people are incapable of fending for themselves.
Shape up guys. You have enough skills to put to use. Try something on your own. Be independent and self sufficient in your mind. Clear off your loans at the first opportunity. Clear the web in your mind. Start seeing things the way they are. Don't worry about a gap in your CV. If you don't have a gap in your CV, you have never been out of your comfort zone. We are born to create an amazing world, not to get entangled in our own version of slavery.
