If your job was a government job then shit happens, Beanz. My wife lost a job because the company was sold off overseas. It just means you look for another one. You now have and by the sounds of it it seems you are more personally fulfilled. Well, it sounds that way.

My point about things like that is that no job is forever and thus my experiences as a kid mean I make sure that I am not going to be held hostage by the fovernment or scrounger parents again. In a perverse way, and though I went mad at times, I am glad I went through it. It gives me a sense of personal responsibility and in that sense I completely agree with Lyle. I have seen what welfare does to the soul and it isn't healthy.
