It's kind of freaky, but it can be very life-affirming. One thing I've always regretted, though, was taking a job too quickly after -- or even just before -- being laid-off. All my fellow lay-offees were collecting unemployment, re-examining their goals and objectives, sleeping in, reading those books they never got around to . . . and there I was working at a job I didn't like 'cause I rushed into it out of desparation. I vote for waiting for the ax to fall, filing an unemployment claim, availing yourself of all sorts of career-transition services that may be offered to you gratis, and smelling the roses. These opportuntities don't come around too often. Enjoy it while you can!

It's tough, but always a good learning experience. I’ve had to change careers more times than I can count. It’s tough, but always a good learning experience.
