Just a suggestion, OP. The experiences reflected here are necessarily from posters with historical work records. As investors say, past performance is not necessarily predictive of future results, particularly in a pandemic with 40 million unemployed.

I do not think anyone here has personal experience with the Great Depression, though that seems to be where we are headed. So your student’s experience may be quite different, and her anxiety may reflect her generation’s realization of that.
