Well, it’s official. The recession hit our home when our younger son was made redundant last week. Although he knew it was a possibility and although he has parents who, as intuitive futurists and with George being a retired economist, predicted this economic disaster years before it happened, it was still a shock.
We are suggesting that our kids try everything to get their careers back on track.
Further education may be an option – but there is then the uncertainty about whether they will be able to find employment when they finish.
They can also continue to apply for any positions which are advertised and they can cold call companies (although we’ve heard that businesses are getting tired of being contacted by people needing work.)
The other option is to multi-task and try a variety of things. They could keep applying for jobs, they can keep cold calling, they can learn new skills, they could start their own small business or try to make an online business.
It’s not enough to go through university or college any more. Sure, this shows that you have brains and intelligence and are hard working but when you come out of university with the degree, companies are still going to ask “Have you had experience?”
Every day now we are hearing about more and more people who are losing their jobs. How are so many families going to survive?
The answer lies in creating a new system – a system which runs outside the current, failing civilization.
The answer lies in gathering people together so that we unite and come up with new ideas which will work to give us a better standard of living than we have in this old system of society.
If any of us want to survive we are going to have to shape our society and our world, to make it the way it needs to be, to sustain all humanity.
- We are going to have to make a new economic system.
- We are going to have to create small businesses and local economies.
- We are going to have to produce our necessities locally and not import them from China and other countries - because if China goes under, we will have put our 'eggs in one basket' and that basket has broken!
- We will have to create new infrastructure and in doing so, create more employment.
- We must have our own food supply, our own water and energy supplies, our own banking and currency system and provide our own clothing, ecologically friendly transport, housing and more...
We CAN do this.
All we need is the blueprint.
