The crisis paradox

Truly, how hard can it be, finding a creative, challenging, fulfilling job in the city of Amsterdam? This is the creative capitol of the Netherlands, it shouldn't be so hard...

But it is. And eventhough I was not looking before the crisis hit, and so I cannot tell the difference between how easy it was then and how hard it is now, it does seem like the current crisis is not helping.

What I'm not doing however, is helping the crisis. I refuse to let the mere idea of a recession make me not spend any money. I know it is a human reaction, to save your money instead of spending it, a way to try and be safe, but it achieves the opposite of what people want. It is a sure fire way to keep the crisis going. I refuse.

And so the paradox is this: my way to help stop the crisis, and thereby hopefully increasing my chances of ever finding a job, is to simply not play. I will keep spending my money like there is no crisis, until I have none. We'll see who has the longer breath!
