What would you do if...

...you lost your job?
And I don't mean cry or apply for unemployment, although those things would happen too. What I'm wondering is, if you didn't have the job you have and you could start over (or had to start over), do you have other interests you'd rather pursue?
For a while I thought if I lost my job it might be a relief. I could walk away from that and try a new challenge. Financially, it would be hard, but not impossible. But now that I'm not so sure what will be happening, I'm not so confident. I wish I had a back-up plan.
So...just day-dreaming a little...what would you do?

I've dwelled on this a little, because of my line of work.
After 5 years in insurance, 20 years in banking, and 5 years in construction/insurance restoration, I'd probably go where there is a ton of business right now.

I just lost my part time job last week.
I suddenly lost my f/t job of 7 years almost a year ago.
They do say there are more entraprenuerial ideas during a recession than in good times, but there is not much data to substantiate, so I am circumspect on that statement being fact.
But if I did loose my job, I would start my own business, just as I did once before.
Plus I doubt if I would find another job like I have now. I am office manager for a local nonprofit society. I could also always go work for my in-laws if I really had to.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your job, Stacy, and hope you find something else you enjoy soon. I've been there and I know how stressful it is.
At the moment, I have every reason to believe my job is secure; but, one never knows. I want to have a plan well in advance. That's why I started this discussion.
