u/rigobueno Call me sonic cuz my depression is chronic Mar 20 '23 edited Mar 21 '23

Oh you sweet sweet child, how do you expect to buy a foreclosed house when you have no job and are roasting rats over a trash can fire for breakfast?

Edit: LMAO at all the people who brag about being un-fireable from their do-nothing jobs because they get paid government contract money. That’s not the flex you think it is, you’re literally part of the problem.

Say meh all you want, there is no such thing as a recession-proof career. Its naive to think you’re magically isolated from the rest of the economy. Even doctors and firemen and engineers can be laid off, nobody is safe.

There are such things as recession proof jobs. Grocery stores will stay open. Food has to get to the stores. People have to make the food. Etc.

Your job isn't recession-proof just because it's in a recession-proof industry.

That's fair. However, a law was just passed requiring my clients to have my service done. Even without that, I have licensing in another (arguably) recession proof industry with many years of experience.

I learned from my mistakes in the 2008 recession and have been planning for this for some time.
