Luckily there are always villages looking for an idiot, with the appropriate skills needed.

So some will always be in demand.

Try not to be so pathetic. Some companies are not run well. So what? There is always a market for good employees. Even in a bad economy. Do things always go well? No. But government interference does not help the situation. The free market is by definition creative destruction. You may not like it.....but it does work - and has brought great prosperity and upward mobility to more people than any other system.
