Name: Kushal Chakrabarty and Beverly Schwarz Chakrabarty
Age: 30 and 26
Location: Oakland, Calif.
The recession has affected me because I know I cannot ask for whatever I would like when it comes to my paycheck or benefits.
Big salary increases are difficult to negotiate in this economic climate. So Beverly and I are trying to build our professional skills by taking online classes and certificate courses so that when the economy rebounds, we are more marketable.
-- Kushal ChakrabartyNEXT: We stay closer to home
