Life isn't fair. Dwelling on it won't help. Getting out of our own way and making the most of the situation regardless of how we got there is better than focusing on the negative. Help others help you and stop worrying about the other guy-they'll get what they deserve too.

I lost my job because one of my coordinators was screwing my boss - seriously!! What have I done in this lifetime to deserve that? So, now I've been unemployed for almost a year, and I am barely getting by. I've made looking for work my full-time job. I spend more time online looking for jobs then I did when I WAS working (and please note I used to work 60hr weeks). If it was as simple as willing yourself into work, our economy wouldn't be the way it is. So please, next time you are quick to say "we get what we deserve", make sure you mention the people that were literally treated unfairly like myself. I get what I deserve?

If someone ruins a sector or the economy because of their greed (like universities), do the people out of work get what they deserve? If the economy has lots of good paying jobs building weapons and few being artistic or creative, does the world become a better place? There are so many examples of people who are not good at something getting paid really well to hold a job while other people with more education or talent can't break in. I suppose if someone breaks into your home and robs you, both parties get what they deserve.

If you are an international student, it is highly likely that in the U.S. they will give a job to someone who they can hire easily rather than deal with visa and immigration. Unfortunately, in a bad economy, the best bet for international students is to go back home. It is not what they deserve but it is what will end up happening. Look at the number of H1B job applications. In Apr 2008, the applications' quota was filled in a matter of couple of days. In April 2009, they are still open after 8 months. Clearly, you DO NOT always get what you deserve!!!! Not true.
