I was laid off in early 2009 during the Great Recession. I figured instead of competing with a bunch of people getting laid off I might as well go back to school and spend the next two years finishing up my degree and ride it out a bit. Didn't regret that decision. Although tuition has gotten totally ridiculous. Do it the cheapest way you can, like a public in-state school or something (I did that and it was still pretty expensive).
