The contingency plan seems to consist of nothing more than regaining employment as a graduate engineer based on a basic degree and one years experience.
In a recession (UK and EIRE) I would rate this contingency plan as being as robust as the house of straw. The Wolf will be the bank looking for its PSL repayments and the little piggies will be his parents.
This plan is piss poor and if you don't want to hear that then by all means go right ahead and throw yourself over the cliff. My mates in the training industry need you to do this and you'll find plenty of company. Enjoy.
