For the first time since I turned 14 I am about to be unemployed, I turn 31 this year. Been with the same company for the last 5 years and 3 months, they just up and said we don't need you anymore. Discovered that the job market is flush with young kids who will do my work(data analyst) for a fraction the pay. Put out a number of applications and stuffed my resume down some recruiter's throats...we'll see if that does any good. Unemployment might cover most of my bills and I have a bit in savings but damn this just seems so foreign to me. For those who have been through this or similar, how did you do? I've considered maybe changing careers but seems a bit risky. Any suggestions would be most welcome...
