If you lost your job now in this present economy.

You know I'm worried and I'm confused as what to do if faced with this very real prospect for myself. I have been at the same job for 28 years. I make good money and I'm very comfortable with what I do everyday.
Maybe I'll finish some education and head in a whole new direction.
Might start my own business doing yard work and landscaping as I love that kinda work. I would be able to land alot of work quickly just through acquantices I have now, may be enough to sustain me and mine.
My strengths lie in construction but would like to get away from that if I loose this job.
Maybe the economy turns around and I don't have to worry about this, lol.

What would you fellas do???
