Recession? No problem!

On the economic front, the news is bad, bad, bad. There are a lot of really smart people who’ve begun making noises about an impending recession, and then there are a few buzz-kills who have the audacity to use the “D” word: Depression.

But that shouldn’t put you into a funk. Remember that there are solutions to every problem. It’s about being creative and resourceful. That said, here are my ideas for staying afloat and well-fed during hard times.

Idea One:

Eat all the Marketing People. Okay, I know that idea isn’t going to be all that popular, right out of the gates, but once you get past that whole “Donner Party” thing, the plan begins to make a lot of sense. For one thing, Marketing people tend to be easy prey. They are easy to track: Just listen for the sound of someone saying, “We are very excited about it.” That’s their signature sound; it’s like a mating-call. If you are unable to locate any Marketing people, you may fall back on Real Estate Agents. They, too, are easy to track: Anyone that drives a Mercedez-Benz with a personalized license plate is a real estate agent.

Idea Two:

Start a Blog where you promise that starting a Blog can make you rich. Apparently, there is good money in doing that, as there are currently a zillion of them, each with buzzwords like: SEO, Internet Marketing, Make Money, etc.

Idea Three:

Join the Military. Based on current projections and estimates, it would appear that there will be “employment opportunities” in the Military for many, many years, where it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll get the chance to mingle with people from other nations, and embrace diversity by shooting them with machine guns. Nice work, if you can get it.

So, at the end of the day, there are a number of options for those who are down-in-the-dumps about our economic future. It’s all about following up on opportunities. So, get busy, and turn that frown upside down!
