Normally, there is some kind of job out there. It may not be the one you want, it may not pay what you need, but consider taking it, to keep the bills paid and food on the table. Continue to look for that job that is right for you in the mean time.
I have worked since I was 12 years old (a newspaper route). I really hate to work, always have, but you got to do something (legal) to live in this world.
Currently, I am lucky enough to be able to work out of my home, usually 5 hours a day. It's not big money, but it does the job of sustaining life and allows me to be here in the afternoon and weekends for my kids. I'm only lucky in this, because my parents are preparing to sell their house, and have hired me to go through all their belongings, figure out what siblings want what, then divide it up. If it's something no one wants, I am free to do with it what I want. If I donate it, they get a tax break, if I make money I split it with them. Plus, I get free rent. You can't beat that. But, it was pure luck.
I was laid off not one, but two jobs within 18 months of each other. My first one, was after being on the job for 10 years, the second one for just under a year. Both were due to downsizing. Believe me, the 2nd layoff was no easier than the 1st, the 1st was more painful. I do still feel betrayed.
My next post, I will try to give some ideas on where to possibly look for help.
