I found myself facing an uncertain future
More years ago than I care to remember, I was unemployed, had no formal education beyond high school, and on the verge of a divorce. With 4 children to support and the usual complement of bills to pay, I found myself facing an uncertain future. I had been unemployed for 18 months. I had been laid off when the company that I worked for closed. While my children were in school during the day, I began a job reentry-training program. Toward the end of the program, I found that I needed to find employment that would suit the skill set that I had learned as well as my work experience. The rest as they say is history. I got a job at a local college, started taking classes and off I went.
10 years later (yes I did remember how long ago) and after a few setbacks including two periods during which my children and I were close to homelessness, I own my own home, am working at as a marketing professional at a college in New Hampshire, finished my bachelors degree and am working on my masters!
