Sarris, sorry to hear about your job situation. Hang in there and keep your chin up and your mind open to new options. I spent my life in construction since age 15 until 2007 when I blew my back out for the "umpteenth" time and was told by my back surgeon, "find something to do where you don't have to bend, twist or lift things". So, back to a local tech college for me at the age of 45. Now I'm 47, got an Associates out of the Tech college and a job working in an Engineering R & D department while I work on my BS in Engineering. Four years ago, if someone had told me I'd be out of the construction industry, have a two year degree, be working in an Engineering department, living 100+ miles away from my wife and youngest kid during the week and in a four year Engineering program, I would have called them crazy. I guess what I'm saying is, just keep moving forward in any direction you can until you are back on your feet and hopefully back on a bike. Hope you can find something soon.
