I'm sorry to hear of your job loss. I lost my own nearly 2 years ago and I was absolutely devastated.

Every closed door is a new opportunity. Today I continue going to school and I'm slowly building value on Steemit as well as working as a stay-at-home dad. I'm hoping to build Steem into a "job" over a reasonable period, but instead of banking on that I'm always knocking on the door to see what opportunity lies on the other side.
