I have been made redundant many times, no big deal, you just get another
cr@ppy job and if there is nothing in your field available you do something completely new. In my experience there are only two options available, you either take the easy route and work for morons until the time comes they want rid of you, or you bite the bullet and work for yourself, both routes have advantages and disadvantages but if you are working for yourself you have total control, which again can be a good or bad thing.
Never look over your shoulder, forget where you have been and concentrate where you are headed, life will go on regardless.
