Survival Techqniues and the art of war and killing.

Once the markets all collapse even more, we'll all be seeing mass riots and fights and rampage like never before. We need to erase our past to protect our future or it'll be in our own interest to destroy ourselves.

Take a year off backpacking around the world, pretending to be a student. By they time you get back the worst may have blown over.

Obviously on your CV when you get back, you say you've been working for some fictional company (they never check references if they even ask for them) doing exactly what you're doing now, so you've only a bit of minimal re-skilling to get back up to speed when you start looking for work again.

Worked for me in the past.

May be tempted to do it again soon if the market really is as bad as some are saying.
