Of course! By why single teachers out? Bad time for anybody to be leaving college these days. But luck is always a huge factor in life. You could, for example, get CFIDS or PKD. Or you could get cancer (the majority of which is innate, provided you don't live near a superfund site, smoke, or sunbath like a lunatic, and even there susceptibility is still genetic). Most of us inherit some sort of cross to bear. From my perspective, being born such that you graduate in a bad market is a pretty mild one, all things considered.
