Is anyone else feeling pretty relaxed about the recession?

I’m a student. I like being a student but soon this is going to end with the closing of my final year. At this point I’m sure many of my colleagues will get a job, it is the done thing. I have been eyeing up a second degree for a while. As my mind celebrates, my liver and credit rating look on in fear.
The economic downturn has offered a whole new alley to avoid the scary world of work. The other options (hide, leave the country or leave the country and hide) now seem ridiculous.The dole is no longer such a taboo subject if the unemployment rates continue to rise as they have been doing. Some have warned the current 5.8% could rise to as high as 10%! Finally my student education of living on meagre amounts will come into play as I collect my 50 pounds a week.

I could start smoking, and gambling, while all around me the papers screaming concern is drowned out by doors of opportunity slamming open.
