Day 18 of Government shut down

[skwatra]

We're talking 21 year olds. Interns and co-ops that were supposed to start and had no where to report, no longer getting credit and too late to enroll in classes. Yes I'm sure it will all be worked out and yes we got paid (by the way its really surprising how many well paid people- even older ones - live paycheck to paycheck, it baffles me). Young people that were lost, all drive gone and coming back to a zero morale environment. I work with these people and the psychological component is evident.

 

Obviously private sector has risks and you can apply all the logical arguments you want but the emotional components are real and there is an impact.
