I feel for all who are currently in the job search mode in this market. If you think it's hard for a recent college grad to pursue a job, something they'd be doing anyway, try scrambling when you've given 20+ years of your life to a single organization and show up to work Monday to suddenly find your position has been eviscerated.

Let's return to the topic of the pic.

No one would dare say we are the only ones, truth is, we are the lucky ones. Most of us do not have houses, do not have families to support. We don't have the massive expenses that people in their 30's and 40's have, we can also rely on mom and dad for some help. In essence this is just another lesson we are learning, and this is the best time for us to learn it. (Obviously Id rather NOT learn this lesson but if it must be I may as well learn something from it no?)
