"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

Anyway, the real problem is if you don't already have a recession proof job, you'll probably be in a long line of applicants to get one. There's not enough jobs for the amount workers, and that was true even before the recession.
