Well I see I'm not alone. I worked for EMI Music(Capital Records) here in Jacksonville in the Engineering/Technician Dept for 17 years. Then June 04 they shut production down and 400+ jobs lost (they gave us a 2 month notice). The plants been here since the mid 60's it was a big hit to our 20k population town. But they gave us a killer severance package and also they'll pay for any schooling (within reason) and the fed kicked in with and extra 1 1/2 year of unemployment (you have to be in a school program) after the first 6 months is out. So yes I'm back to school and really like it. So with severance and unemployment coming in at the same time it's cool, but I'm trying to be money smart,living on the unemployment and dropping the severance in savings. But being 43 and hitting the job market might be tough, but thinking positive and making contacts everything will workout. But if I have to there might be a vcross for sale.
But that makes me look even harder for a good job ! ! ! cya's
