There are opportunities even in these climates. The world doesn't grind to a halt.

I saw some statistics the other day at a careers talk which showed some businesses are actually taking on MORE trainees than before.

Why?

Because in a few years when things start picking it up it helps to have people working instead of the entire workforce retiring.

Obviously banking and real estate are heavily hit at the moment. Most of the people planning on going into that are now flocking towards law (damn them) but there are all sorts of opportunities around. There are even safe opportunities for investment.

People just need to be determined to carry on.

And I mentioned suicide because that is the extreme alternative to giving up looking for a new job and continuing with life.
