Can you think of anyway to make a living if you are kicked off of your job?

Hi johndur!^^ If I suddenly get kicked off my current job, I wouldn't know what to do. I wouldn't know where to apply for another job. I've been in my job for a couple of years now and I rarely check other opportunities. But I would probably apply in another office where the job is the same as with my current. I'll probably ask my friends too if they have a vacancy in their company where the work will be much more technical than my current. I have thought of putting up a business before and if I have the money I think I would put up a gift shop or something like that. But I have always believed that I have no luck in running a business and all that. I used to have a little store but I couldn't manage it well. Maybe it runs in the blood. My mother used to have a small business too raising ducks but she couldn't manage it too so she had to stopped.^^;; But it would really be a dream come true if I could have my own gift shop.^^

that is the worst that might happen to me. That is why I am thankful that I already have a part time job so that when I lose my regular job I still have a source of income. My part time job is good, you are a franchise consultant at the same time you have training for your own business and you can sell. It is a 3 in one opportunity. I am so happy to have found it. I know when I lose my job I have something to depend on. Actually my income on my part time job is much higher than of my regular job. I know in less than 5 months I will be leaving my regular job to start my own business, to continue my part time job and to be working online too.

I think it will be difficult for me to find a new job if I am fired now. So I may start to make my own business. It can be online or offline, as long as it seems I can earn from it:) I love China

last week i unexpectedly lose my 1st partime job.but i still have one..but im planning to start a business hope i could start soon.

ugh i dont want to think about it.. i mean we already went down this road one time since the recession and he was out of work for a month and a half before a new job which i know wasnt much compared to my bro would was out for 9 months but it scared me.. i just kept mylotting and trying to sell stuff etc.. im disabled so i cant do more as far as getting a job but i put his resumes in everywhere so it would help him focus on other ares of getting a job..

Look for a new job in a similar or different industry. It all depends on what you really want to do. Then do MyLot on the side.

Whne I was working I was twice unexpectedly made redundant and both times I turned my hand to gardening and doing odd jobs for people. It's nice doing this sort of the thing in the summer but less so in the winter and unfortunately I could never turn it into a proper living or else I would have kept doing it.

I would probably start looking for a new job ASAP. I wouldn't try to survive without a job because I don't honestly think I could! If that didn't work, then maybe I'd do the online earning thing much more than I do right now. Hmm.. great question! I try not to think about these horrible hypothetical questions - it shows just how unprepared I'd be.
