It’s the end of the world as we know it?

I’m usually an optimistic person….

But.

It can be tough to stay that way when you are attempting to enter the job market at a time when the world may in fact be ending. Or so it seems.

Stocks are plummeting (not that I have money for stocks.) Banks are closing. Hundreds of people are being laid off in the business (and building) I want to work in. The county is a financial mess. And did I mention that whole chunks of the world hate us?

I have been subconsciously ignoring the major financial upheaval until today when I was sitting in the Times’ lunch room, I couldn’t help but hear the TV. I hate to say we’re screwed– but with nothing getting done in Congress, screwed seems like a pretty tame description.

I know we’ll recover. We have to.
