Well, first I'd like to say that, I'm sorry to hear about your job. It's good that your company is at least trying to help you out. I understand what you're going through, because I lost my job last November without any notice and still haven't found one yet. Plus, I know several others in my same position. So, just remember that you're not alone in this.
As far as your ideas for your future, I would say that you seem to have some great ideas in mind. That's the first step. You have a little time to make up your mind, so do some research on some of your fields of interest. Take some days off and visit some of the companies in the fields that you're looking into. Couldn't hurt? I hope this helps you. It's good to hear also that you're grateful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> for what you are getting, because it's sure better that being bitter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Lastly, please try not to worry about what is happening. I know my faith in God is strong, and that's what is carrying me through all of this. Keep your head up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
