Recession Proof Graduate

Description

Sadly, in 2020, through no fault of his own, my son completed his high school years in a recession. A Global recession.

He has chosen not to enroll in college at this time - mostly thanks to the virus and how easily it spreads. So he will be staying home and working on improving his skills, learning new skills, making new contacts and hopefully looking to start a job that he can do online.

He has the rest of his life to follow his dreams, explore the possibilities and make a new reality.

I say this because 20 years from now, he will be more disappointed by the things he didn't do, than by the things he did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sails. Dream, Explore, Discover. - Mark Twain (paraphrased)

There is also a link to the PDF book called Recession Proof Graduate for anyone who wants to recession proof themselves. This was written by a college graduate during the last recession - after the 2008 crash....
