Hit Back the Recession

Recession has hit everyone! But you don’t worry because there are some of the most safe and sound jobs which are resistant to the recession, it’s not all that scary, you know. But a word of caution to everyone- it’s for all those people whose mantra is- I-would-do-anything-good-for-money. The top five jobs during recession:
Panipuriwalla: Safe, low cost job. Of course the cost of the raw materials may increase but it can be mitigated during the sales. What’s more, you are the boss and to fill your own stomach with your own food would be the icing on the cake.
Beauty’s still in : Oh yeah, recession or not, there would be many women(and men) who would be bothered about their body hair or body tan so beauty parlors would be a great option, the in-thing, especially when you need to look good, either to win a singing competition or becoming a model or even to get married.
Participate in a reality show: Did your grandma’s daughter’s son’s uncle’s wife’s brother’s sister tell you that you are a good singer? Its time you take it pretty seriously and start sharpening your vocal cords. It’s a foolproof method to hit back the recession. What’s more? You will get name and fame too. All you need to do is sit with your newfound singing guru and practice till your neighbor’s dog starts barking loudly (that’s just to show that you got competition). Contacts with the respective TV channels will also help.
Pavement shops: Strictly for those who believe in the notion of dignity of labour. Who would want to buy those big brands with equally big prices? So the best options would be to sell stuff at rock-bottom prices, wholesale prices would anyways be less, so its profit and profit all the way.
Finally, writing. Freelance writing is hardly affected by recession. So if you think that your pen is mightier than your sword, go for it, for sky’s the limit. No, the limit is the editor’s patience!
