I graduated in 1993, and had to do some pretty demeaning work to make rent before landing a decent Temp job that got me started towards a career. Felt like I was finally in my element and ready for the big time Internet challenges by... 2001. I was busted by the bust and didn't get back on track really until 2007, fortunately in a niche that didn't suffer much from the 2008 meltdown. This might be just another phase of the cycle, though I admit it feels different this time, and not just because of the economic impact. (Also, OT but: in 1993 San Francisco was cheap, friendly, pretty mellow and full of creative people. That made being broke a lot more tolerable. I wouldn't want to be 1993-me in 2020-SF.)
