Starting over isn't that easy when you don't have the funds and or a student debt to pay off.

You are correct, Phan is a bright and intelligent young man.
Thanks Dion..... what you described is was faced by many in 2008-2010... its not crippling, it won't kill them, but it sucked for you and it sucked for them.
Not, as Red would put it:

As for the 2008 crash, that hurt boomers more than any other generation. That's their retirement money. All Y-ers worried about in 2008 was their new iPhone and repairs on their 94 Honda Prelude.
I won't state it a 4th time for Red, because clearly he isn't the type of guy that is willing to open his eyes. I'm glad you and missdp (note: 2 Gen X's) recognize the challenges to Gen Y that I am trying to make aware.....
