I was laid off new years. I've been doing development for 10 years and specializing in salesforce for 7 years. I haven't found the right position yet, but I know I've been burned out for a little bit now. I've been considering low-paying metal-working jobs, but the sad reality is unemployment pays more. Unemployment runs out in June. I'm kinda indifferent whether I find work. I've started the foreclosure process on my house. This may be the perfect time to just take some time and explore the US. So while I haven't found work yet, the work I have done has put me in the mentality that that's ok. Thanks for reading.

Do the metal working job, or a lower paying job you dig. Do a loan modification to keep your house. Enjoy the extra equity you receive. Then, rent it out while you travel the US.

The foreclosure was inevitable. I bought too high about 8 years ago and my house is really old. It needs more money in work than I'd ever make back. Such is life I suppose. A string of hard-earned lessons.
