With respect to risk-taking…

From someone who would like to take risks, but can’t (or won’t) due to familial responsibilities, go for it. You have nothing tying you down. You are young. You are smart. You have little to lose.

Let those of us with wives, 2 kids, a mortgage and two car payments live vicariously through you.

I’m so sorry to hear about your layoff. It feels trite to say that it’s all going to work out, but then again I really do believe that it will. And in the meantime we’re all rooting for you.

I’m a big fan of risk-taking, particularly as regards careers. I’d say you could use this event as a chance to do something different, something you truly love. (Although I do hope you’ll stay in Pittsburgh, because this area needs sharp people like you.)

One suggestion for job leads: the Pittsburgh Technology Council careers section is free to use. After you’ve had a couple of days to decompress, check it out: http://careers.pghtech.org/resume/

Good point about risk taking.. Nothing is secure unless you are independantly wealthy and even that can go bad. I have yet to figure out how to get independantly wealthy though so until then screw me. Good luck on that SNG!

Do you have any IT experience or are you willing to lie on your resume?

Something could be worked out if you are willing to relocate yourself…

Seriously though, good luck man. It felt like someone kicked me in the chest when I read your post yesterday. I was so upset I couldn’t comment until today.

Man, I’m getting bummed just reading this. I feel for you.

You could always do what I do when life cracks my aces… Buy a plane ticket to Vegas. Take your entire bankroll. Bellagio. Chase uppers with downers, downers with uppers, and booze with beer.

And fuck the living piss out of anything that moves.
