Why Graduating During a Recession Can Mar Your Whole Life

Did you graduate during a recession and if so did it impact the rest of your life? In this Globe and Mail article I wrote about the experience of those who started their careers in the deep-recession year of 1982 and who did feel the burden for years to come. I’d be interested in other people’s experience -is graduating in a down economy a character-building experience or dead weight that never leaves you? And will the experience of Gen Zs (who may be graduating into a weaker labour force in 2024) have the same experience or a completely different one?
