14. Unemployment Is Coming, Avoid Ice-Cream And Netflix!

At some point in your life, whether it's now or ten years from now you will be unemployed. Maybe both if you're unlucky. As Bob Dylan said, the times they are a changin'. Robot replacements are skyrocketing and they are cheaper, more efficient and better at our jobs than we are in a million little ways. They don't even take holidays. During your period of unemployment, remember to be as strict on yourself as a drill sergeant. You don't get a night out cause you're having a hard time. You don't get to send four CV's and call it a day, there is no ice cream and certainly no Netflix for you. Here's what you get, a full time job that pays literally zero. Your job now is find a new job; update your website, work on your CV, apply for any job going, it doesn't matter that it's for a brain surgeon and you can barely tie your shoes. You waste their time with your application anyway because it costs you nothing! Whatever you do, stay the f*@k away from the sofa!
