Well, I'm depressed now which is a common problem for me anyway but I'm disillusioned.

I was laid off about two weeks ago and now I'm wondering if I should just switch fields. It feels like every time I take 2 steps forward, I end up taking 10 steps back. I can't seem to get a good accounting job to save my life. I ended up with that Controller position but I think they were only looking for someone temporary anyway until they did the whole merger thing which is what caused my lay off. It was a very unprofessional company and I will do my best to steer clear of another one like it.

I have stuck with accounting for 10 years and I'm tired now. I don't know what to do. I know there are people on here who are unemployed but many of you also have help with bills and stuff. I don't qualify for unemployment but my former boss told me they were paying me severance. My response to that is I will believe it when I see it. I don't trust anything those people tell me.

I'm praying and trying to keep the faith but I have gotten used to not being home and now that I'm home, it sucks. I probably should be using this time to just rest because I need it. I have REG coming up at the end of this month but I don't feel like studying. I've registered with Accountemps again. They have something for me but I have to interview with the company but I don't think I'm going to like it there. It's an accounting clerk position at a small engineering company. I need a staff accounting position. I do have a contact who has his own CPA firm but he is slow right now until tax season.

Anyway, cpanet family what in the world do I do now?

I don't qualify.

I've tried them once in the past. Unfortunately by the time my doctor put me on them, the damage was already done(ie. poor GPA, lost jobs). They are helpful though.
