How is the recession effecting you?

[Ridd1ck]

Im seeing alot of new buildings etc in liverpool Buts thats because they still have alot of capital of culture funding.

Generally speaking, im doing better than i was, But thats mostly due to the fact that i have 2 Part time jobs, And im a student.

My first part time job is promotional in the music buisiness, working for venues with bands etc, and that really, i cant see being too affected by the Recession, My other is delivery but thats for my dad, So frankly, i dont mind helping him esp in hard times as he has his own buisiness.

That being said, his is the furniture buisiness and it almost whiped him out the middle of last year, but trade has picked up again.

And im a student, so get alot of loans and generally, get free stuff and cheap stuff. Yay for me!

im a student and it really sucks royally. i mean ive been looking for work for a while now, and now the economy is in as bad a shape as it is its going to be even harder to find work....... several of my friends became redundant recently....

and because i dont have my own income, theres nothing i can do. i cant claim any support money from the government because im not full time (hence why looking for a job) let alone the fact that my friend did NOTHING to contribute to society for a long LONG time and because of the gov'ts mis managed stuff he has money coming out the wazoo. not to mention the recent 'stimulus package' is being distributed to dead ppl, and ppl who dont live here anymore from our government. its utter lunacy and my gov't have no clue.

but i guess im ok, im still at home with mum and dad, i have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, a nice computer and it looks like my dads job security is good. so im doing OK but its going to be harder now for me to become more independant.

There's always the Military. It's most definately the best decision I've ever made. Yeah it sucks at times, but you can't beat the benefits, pay (for those of my rank), or the job security!

Just a thought......

im not interested in joining the military. my father spent 24 years in the RAAF and i can honestly say it did interest me and i even considered joining myself however that will put me at risk of being posted interstate, overseas, or wherever far away from my family and friends. i dont want that.

im studying to become a mechanical engineer because they are in demand here where i live...... see, we won a contract recently to go and build some Air Warfare Destroyers (aegis) for the australian navy. problem is, my government and the college responsible for my course are making it obsolete because of a severe lack of forethought. so ppl in my trade will be in even MORE demand soon to come. so assuming i complete this course in time ive got a fairly steady future lined up. in the mean time getting that far is hard. no job, means no car or license, means hour and a half trips per way...... so 3 hr round trip by bus. im growing increasingly tired of the way things are run here....

tldr: no, not military, ive seen that life and it isnt for me.
