WHOO HOO. Obamanomics.
You know what is really depressing. A large majority of people in this situation are mad at Obama for “not doing enough” to help them. They want more socialism.
The only advice I can offer anyone is to be flexible in location and learn a trade. I have been incredibly lucky to have dropped out of college in favor of a tech school. I was on the verge of a masters degree in Industrial Design at Fresno state (where I had the great privilege of having Victor David Hanson as a professor) but ran out of money. Rather than incur the debt to finish I went back and became a certified welder and machinist at the technical school.
By wearing out a lot of shoes, eating ramen, and scraping every penny I could in to savings to buy a couple machines I have built up a fantastic manufacturing business. I still drive a 25 year old car but pay my guys a very good wage.
I wish I had a solution. Well, I DO have a solution, but I’m just one tax paying chump who has no say in the federal government.
Here’s a scary thought to all you Freepers. When you fly on a certain aircraft manufacturer’s aircraft,,, my parts are keeping you in the air.
“You know what is really depressing. A large majority of people in this situation are mad at Obama for “not doing enough” to help them. They want more socialism.”
This is what the previously independent middle class is doing, always looking for someone to take care of them. Be it a middle class woman looking for wealth via a rich husband to take care of them or an employee who wants his boss to pay for a sex-change operation. It’s not right.
“be flexible in location and learn a trade.”
AMEN! Learn that and you can go anywhere. I dropped out of college because I couldn’t keep going (personal baggage) and I will say that I took the view that if I can’t afford college, I can’t afford it. I’m not going and won’t be going back for a long time.

Good for you!

You will tell me if I offend you, right?
