2021 Job Outlook?

Hey folks.

This here has the opportunity to become a thread for discussion about the next recession.

So I'm currently a student on a 3-year course, graduating in 2021.

Now, of course nothing is ever for certain, but there is an awful lot of talk about something called a 'recession', along with wide-held opinions of a 'worldwide economic slowdown' and such.

If there were to be a recession in the coming years, when do you guys think it would happen? What would be the causes? How would it look like and what would the impact be?

More importantly, how would it look like for a graduate in 2021? Suppose an offer was secured following a summer internship in 2020 (if no recession?) then what would happen in the following years?
