Just an idea...Since you will get the salary for at least a years pay, maybe you could go back to school and then find a job doing something that you love. Honestly, I wish I would have went to a tech school instead of a university (4-year) because tech is a lot cheaper (virtually free if your state has the lottery or whatever). Also, there are a lot more jobs out there with a 2 year degree that pay more than one with a 4-year degree. I would take this time to reflect on what you love, spend time with your children, etc. I wouldn't rush into a job just to have money, but spend time applying and searching for better jobs. Monster.com is a good place to start. Sorry if I didn't help much...just some ideas. Hope they helped you!
