Here's hoping that you're far enough up the seniority ladder that those 63 layoffs won't reach you.

But, if they should, like others have said, it's not the end of the world.  Rather just a new beginning to your next career.  Like fred mentioned, the technical programs in the Community College system are outstanding.  I'm a prime example.  I worked self-employed in the skilled trades for 20 years, when the bottom fell out on the banking industry, construction came to a screeching halt.  I went back to school, studied land surveying, gained the attention of my instructor, who has been my boss for the past 4 years.  I'm not making quite what I averaged from Tile and Stone installation, but as of next month, I will be eligible to apply for State testing toward becoming a licensed Professional Land Surveyor.  Gaining my license would mean about a 20-25K/year bump in pay.
