Yea I work in digital media and consultation, and it became a luxury that most of my clients had to pass on.
Remember the 08 Financial Crash? How bad did it get you?

No you didn't.
It's going to happen again, sooner than people think
Financially the worst time for me as I just got past the trial period at my new job and the funding was cut RIGHT when the market took a big dive. From living solo and and being at the top of your game career wise to being unemployed and living worse than a college student was really humbling.
Plenty of interviews, but the offers were often rescinded due to the volatile nature of economy at the time.
I became so depressed, I often thought about stepping on the train tracks as I didn't feel like a man because I lost my career. After being a month away from eviction and begrudgingly moving back home, a last ditch interview resulted in success. My place was saved and I spent the next few years being a bit more fiscal responsible. I recovered and if I can survive that, I can do anything.....

Excuse me?
Man I don't know why some of your weirdos keep insinuating you have a lock on the lives of others outside this site.
And yeah. I have close friends at infamous firms who crashed in spectacular ways. They had to work at department stores for about two years to make ends meet.

I actually worked at a mortgage company, and you could just see it going down. We all lost our jobs and my boss basically started over as a smaller company with his executive team. I remember everyone crying as they left 1-by-1. I didn't suffer much besides going to lower pay and starting over. Jobs all sucked for a few years so I went back to school. It still affects my attitude towards jobs and life in general to this day. I've been way more proactive about seeking out variety of work and investing money. Always on the lookout for the long-term now.
Something's wrong with you.
Do you want their names or something?
(Which you won't get)I had friends at Bear Sterns, Lehman, and Barclays who got ultra-fukked in 08....and a lot more who got utterly slammed in 09. Had to move to DC/ATL/etc just to try and find work.
Who are YOU homie to even question me on some shyt like that?
You thought we just all sat on our asses after high school?
