First, this country is resilient. We will rebound from this and will have learned a great deal from it, until the next bubble pops up.
Remind your students of the other bubble, the baby bubble (aka baby boomers) who are ready to leave the market/earth in droves. That will open up numerous job opportunities as posted above. Tell them to focus their career on healthcare or funeral arrangements or adult diapers or . . . well I better shut up. You get the idea.
Just because this episode of the great American Dream is coming to a close doesn’t mean other doors won’t open to them and the best thing about the good old US of A is that we can explore and exploit the possibilities. Tell them to keep and chin up and think of this as a good thing.
