After my bottle of wine this evening, I began to have a heavy heart about our economy. Everyone, we have been in a rut for at least the past six years. Do you all really think things will ever get good again? I am so sad because I feel like so much of my life has been absorbed by this ruthless recession and economy. I am 25 years old. As an adult, I have truly never seen good economic times. I have a bachelors degree in Business Management and all I did after graduation was sit idol in unemployment. I threw my applications into a black hole it seemed. I finally found a job and have been there for the past year but I just left two Friday's ago because I need to move to a new state. Will I be chronically unemployed again? Next week, I take my CPC certification exam but what is the point? Will it really make my life better? Lets be honest, it won't. Why try to improve yourself in a world that is so broken?
Japan last year in its third decade of a down turn. That's 20+ years. The price of a fast food bowl of rice and beef kept on going down that it was used as a measure of deflation losing 2/3 of the price. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/30/bu...pagewanted=all
The problem lies within yourself... Sitting around idle or watching American Idol during unemployment is a problem. Being idle or perceiving yourself an idol can be a big impediment to success. Do not be idle. And do not think companies will idolize you because of the degree. Stop drinking wine and feeling sorry for yourself and go do some productive career planning work.

Wait, you quit a job and are moving to another state WITH NO OTHER job lined up? Oh, to be young again!
Listen, most of your problems stem from your age. You couldn't pay me to be in my 20's again! It's probably one of the most difficult times of your life, with the exception of aging and needing a caregiver.
To make matters even more difficult, you quit two weeks ago and are still living in the same city? No words for that decision.
Well, it probably will all turn out for the best....don't worry. It's in your 20's that you can make mistakes, learn from them and grow. Good luck on that exam! It should help you hopeful score another job.
Thank you. I am feeling confident in myself. I have studied very diligently this year so that I can pass. Also, my last employer has a branch in Atlanta (where I am moving to) they definitely encouraged me to apply for positions when I get there and post all my references. I will make it all work out.

Modern economies run on cash flows from rising asset prices and rising asset prices are not sustainable for industry that cannot afford to pay higher FIRE sector costs. So its a long tern trap until it burns to the ground like in Detroit.
Given what I have seen in this thread, I think attitude might be the problem.
Wow...OP worked "for a whole year" lol. Your young and have a lot to learn about work, society, attitude, politics and communication
As I stated, I have five years of work experience under my belt. And of course, life is about learning. I have already leanrned a lot about the topics you listed and I plan to learn them even more.
No, never. The 1%ers have raped this country economically. They have exported all of our jobs overseas. They took all the profits from corporate welfare, and tax breaks that voters foolishly gave them and took that overseas. If you think they will ever bring all that loot back, you are crazy.
Now lets all blame Obama for the mess that he inherited. That will solve our problems.
I know the 1 percenters are the ones that did the best in the post recession world. The working poor are ravaged these days. Hopefully decent hiring will continue though and the middle guys can pull through.

Do you think that is what will happen to Japan? That the whole country will go down Detroit style?
Am I the only one confused by why someone so pessimistic who has had such a hard time getting a job would choose to leave their current employment? Heck, I don't have problems finding work and am not pessimistic, and I've been putting off moving because the uncertainty makes me nervous.
