I could use some recovery.

My most recent layoff lasted two years (minus 3 months at a contract gig from which I was a victim of "headcount reduction" - oops, I guess that makes SIX times!). Your 10 Good Things - brilliant.

I sometimes wish I had gone that route. Good luck with it. One excellent thing about that particular profession...I never met anybody in it who didn't love what they were doing.

I took a HUGE risk (more debt) and am following what I thought was an impossible dream...to become a Veterinarian. A lot of credits transferred from my last degree, so it won't take long. So there is one positive!The Schweitzershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789826944600218402noreply@blogger.com
