    If recession threads were jobs we'd all have one.

    You can get a job not related to your degree like many people have had to do. Don't be picky.

    It's taboo to tell people how fed up you are these days since everybody is pi'ssed off. You're only allowed to complain when the majority are happy.

    And seriously, this might look sarcastic but it isn't.

    Well look at it this way,you have a job,and it will be a few months before you are made redundant.
    So use those months to look for something else.

    Don't be fed up, there are worse countries. If you think Ireland is bad, you need to wake up.

    We came out of the last recession, and we'll emerge stronger than ever out of this one. I think the recession has done us some good. People need a good dose of realism from time to time.

    I'm fed up cos I have a secure job and am going to have to carry you deadbeats for a while.

    One of the guys I work with was let go one friday and had to work a weeks notice.. He had 4 interviews lined up in the week and was offered 2 jobs..
    Very positive person and is not fazed by anything..

    A smile on your face, a positive outlook and willing to work [regardless of your degree and qualifications] and you will get work..

    The country was going down the crapper since 2006, 25% of GDP from construction and 25% of the total workforce were in construction. The housing bubble burst long before the credit markets dried up, we're in a recession purely down to FF's cosy reliance on building houses. You cant lose nearly 25% of GDP and workforce without a HUGE recession.
    We were in recession long before other countries, and we will be long after the rest have recovered.

    You're thinking too much on the negative side of things.

    Try and start thinking positive

    You are a passionate person, I can tell ;)


    While survival instingt is a thing that kicks in for people in general, I find it a better thing again to question why the hell it went wrong in the first place, if I gave tax every week. God bless you, you tolerant soul. :pac:
