Pick up a newspaper or magazine, and you will find an article on the impact of the recession. There are reports of reduced consumer spending, reduced profits, reduced wages, and reduced employment. Combine these factors with reports of increased competition, both internal and external, and the news is bleak. It will get worse.
Yet there are opportunities. Many of the best were not around fifteen years ago. Life is changing rapidly, and the pace is expected to increase. We will be expected to keep up.
One way to prepare for this future is to invest in yourself. Set academic standards very high. Study to meet these goals. Do not underestimate your potential. By preparing a solid foundation, you have postured yourself to take advantages of new opportunities. With high personal expectations, hard work, and a little luck, you may find yourself recession proof!
