Do You Have Any Emergency Plans If The Recession Gets Too Bad?

This just sounds horrendous.
I'd heard those vaccines (as well as things like PTSD) were causing alot of vets to have trouble. But this sounds just terrible.
I can't even imagine why they decided it was a good idea to use our servicemen in Desert Storm as guinea pigs for this stuff. Like you haven't given enough.
By Wisconsin Law, unless the Union and District have negotiated a lay-off date, lay-off notices are due to teachers the same date as nonrenewal notices (March 1st). I didn't receive either notice, so I'm good for another year.
My wife is an adjunct at the local university. They are having massive turn over in her department in both the professoral and adjunct ranks. She currently has a one year (renewing) full time contract. The odds of them needing to cut her back because of budget cuts is very low due to the turnover.
We're good for another year, however, we both need to be considering the possibility of lay-off following 2009-2010, so we're putting feelers out for new positions at other schools or graduate study.

I thought you were Catholic? Regardless, almost every major mainline Christian denomination is shorthanded at the Presbyterial/Pastor rank. If He is calling you, and you are willing to make the sacrifices to answer, don't screw around with ministry as a "back up" plan. Get thy ass to a seminary.
This may sound bad. I, of course, didnt live during the Great Depression or experience the stuff they went through but my great grandmother did. So, I did hear some of her stories and I noticed the little habits she had to have picked up during that time such as stock piling food, washing plastic bags to reuse, etc... But I wonder if such a hard ship is something that our current culture might actually benefit from. It would be an absolute shock to the system. We are such a consumer based society where people literally get upset if they do not get new items the day they are released or get annoyed for having to wait in a line that has more than 3 people in it.
As far as the main topic, I do not have any emergency plans prepared.

Being Retired Military, with Soc Sec coming in mid 2012, I have no plans to ride out any thing. In fact, I got "off the bus" two years ago. When I lost most of my vision. Plus I can still swing a hammer and am familiar with the long end of a shovel, how paint burshes work and still remember would you like fries with that from the 1960s Burger Chef experience.
And for the cherry on top of the sundae, I just tonight, after only three days, learned how to manage my iPod 5.5 video with Ubuntu.

If he's called, he should be gone, I agree. Those shorthanded places aren't paying a lot, unless you get a well off church, so I'd consider a second income stream.
As for foreign missions.....most churches I know are tightening belts. Hard act to bust into, even if you have years experience.
Will Rock for food.
Because of the shortage, both the ELCA and Episcopal Churches are having one pastor cover multiple parishes. Not as hard to fund a full time position out of a couple of part time ones. Also, these two denominations allow the sharing of clergy, which opens up the possibility of cobbling together a full time job across two denomination's parishes.

Ah yes, why didn't I think of that? Depression plans should be closely modeled on Zombie Plans after all.

I'm thinking of changing my name to Santa Crowbar.
I was thinking about your earlier tonight J. Allen Went to pick up the wife at work, and there was two men walking along the road, in the dark, and one of them was carrying a crowbar.
Since I can't be everywhere, he was one of my helpers.

Nope, not Catholic. No real denomination, but I go to an Assemblies of God church. However, I definitely could not be a pastor in that denomination due to some differences with their beliefs.
And, as I said it's pretty much tied for first; however, I don't know if that's where my skills are best. I feel called to help more than anything, I definitely think I could do that as a pastor, but I think I might be able to help more through law. Whatever comes of the next few years (I'm still in my sophomore year of getting my bachelors), I think God will be directing me and it will be good.

So you're like the Santa of breaking and entering, eh?
So what do we leave out for you milk and cookies, or porn and a 5th of Jack?
An excellent idea. Where shall we get the men?

I've seen a lot of new referrals recently who've done just this (well, I mean they've filed for the UK version of bankruptcy, obviously).
Do I have any emergency plans? Yes. But I'm not telling you what I intend doing with the house-sized vat of lime jello.
