I am a dual citizen, American and Canadian. I was born and grew up in Canada, but made frequent trips to vacation and visit family as I was growing up. If pressed to say which nationality I lean toward, I guess that it depends on the topic of conversation. For example, when I graduated from High School in 1990, the economy was terrible, and stayed that way for a few years. The jobs that were available were low paying, and definitely not very inspiring for an eighteen year old me. Long story short, in Canada, college and university enrollment jumps every time the economy goes sour. When the economy picks up, enrollment drops. The logic is simple, if there is no good opportunity, perhaps it would be best to plan for when things come back around. Unfortunately there is a catch 22, it is hard to go back to school when you can not afford it. That is my biggest problem with the US, I think that higher education should be nearly free for everyone. Money should not be an issue, letters after your name are a right, not a privilege. My advice, “Start planning for a better economy now, and get ready for it.” When the economy rebounds, and it will, things might be a little different, but nothing that will surprise you too much. The auto industry is in trouble, so perhaps it would not be the time to take that route. Talk to an advisor and see what they say, they will not have all of the answers, but with good planning and financial help, you could come out of the recession (depression) ahead of the game instead of continuing with your own financial struggles. Learn from Canada, when the economy sucks, better yourself with an education.
