I freelance once in a while now while passively looking for something else in another field--28 and trying to figure out what I wanna be when I grow up. .
I've done that!!
It was scary, and I cried like the world was ending all the way home. I worked for them for 10 years. In my 9th year, I moved from NC to California to get married and I transferred.
I went from a top notch, push button lab to one that was from the stone age! I had to drive 30 minutes from home to work and on my way in, they would call and tell me they were cutting hours and not to come in for another 2 hours!
The final straw was an undeserved review and pay cut, with a snarky comment "We are all lucky to even have a job right now."
I locked myself in the bathroom and cried and called my husband. He told me to quit and I did.
I am now working at a kids clothing store and have gotten a promotion to supervisor and than to assistant manager.
I'd say I have landed on my feet just fine!
I hope you land a awseome job soon!!

But my husband and I are broker than broke. I am so stressed about paying bill. No clue how I'm gonna get them paid now.
You'll be amazed at how the bills managed to get paid even when there is less money coming in. My husband and I had to tighten our belts for 6 months before I found work. Made and stuck to a shopping list budget. Cut spending for stuff like movies and gave up snacks which helped with weight loss.
I had a 401k that I rolled over into an IRA. There was $7 grand and it lasted 6 months. Just as the money ran out, I found work. You'll find something soon, I just know it!!
