When the job market is good, get a job.

When the job market is bad, get an education.

When they're both good, get both.

When they're both bad, live in your parents basement.

I like the wit of the quote, but living in a country where student debt will amass infinite interest and follow you to the grave pretty much checkmates that strategy lol.

Also: Speaking as a millennial, most of us came of age right about the time corner-office kids were wrapped around the building for a chance to work in fast food.

Job markets were said to be good for like 5 minutes after the Great Resignation....annnd we're back to 2008 again lol.

Never stop learning. Use a job for as long as it's useful and nothing more.
