My advice is to consider self-employment. There are lots of opportunities for people that are willing to go out on their own. For those of us that have been laid off, we all know that we will eventually land another job, only to worry about the next layoffs, not to mention the BS involved with working for someone else.
I opted to take a package to leave AOL in January, rather than find another meaningless marketing job in a company that is still in a lot of trouble. Since then, I have spent 5+ months looking at buying a business, and starting a business. There are lots of resources out there and you may be surprised how little money it takes to go into business for yourself. I have been working with a business coach who has been extremely helpful in listenting to what I 'think' I want and presenting potential business opportunities for me to explore (franchises, consulting, etc.). If anyone wants to learn more, shoot me a private message.
Oh, and no, this isn't an Multi-level marketing scheme!!
