Well, s...Your Country doesn't need you, will be an alternative recruiting poster. Well, some big countries are still recruiting personnel, especially with technical degrees and diplomas, to join armies for present and future war efforts. But if you find yourself squeezed for work and don't want to become a techno cog in a war machine, what alternatives are there?<br />
<br />
You could of course volunteer for development work overseas. Government and NGO programmes offer exotic locations to volunteers in health, engineering, agriculture, refugee camps and educational positions. The experiences vary and may help you choose a different career path when your term of service concludes.<br />

Some graduates and disillusioned urban labourers have opted to go to the land and struggle to survive on smallholdings. An organisation called Feasta, based in Tipperary, has published documents about sustainable economies in rural parts and elsewhere. Organic farming courses are available at Leitrim Organic Centre. Seed Savers based in Clare have also pointed to agricultural alternatives. Musicians, taxi drivers, engineers, nurses and others have gone back to the land and some have achieved satisfaction if not wealth. It can be work work and work in uncomfortable weather. Others have returned to cities after despairing of neopeasant conditions.<br />
<br />
Some people have relocated to small towns and opened shops, bakeries, electrical & hardware stores and crafts workshops and the like.<br />

The gardening projects alongside canal banks and other urban locations point to the possibilities for redesigning city areas in some instances. Whatever might be done in cities and suburbs, I think relocation away from conurbations will have to be considered by unemployed and unemployable people.
