Hang in there. Blessing in disguise. I was "downsized" a year ago. In a town of 7800 there wasn't much call for a person w/my backround. Using contacts from within the industry I was employed in, less than 6 mo later was employed again, at the same sallary, better benefits, and 15% fully funded co. 401 plan in addition to pension benefits. Sounds like you have been thru this before and also have a plan for yourself. Move on. Oh, and I was bumped off the last day of june. My parents were coming by for a 2 wk visit, staying at our house. My brother in law and family were staying over for the long weekend of 4th of july. My wife sees me unloading boxes from my car and asks if the co. is now having me work out of the home rather than an office. I tell her she's only 1/2 right. With all that was going on, she shattered sooner than I did... Try to be positive. Don't let the degree thing spook you. When the new years hangover has subsided, get busy, get serious, and "git-r-done"
