I'm also getting jobless soon. Mine fire department can't afford me because they didn't sign a agreement with the minister.

Not entirely a bad thing. I was planning on working less, because the combination of working life and studying for a master degree is really hard. I have build a financial buffer, i can use to finish mine study. At the same time I'm looking for a part-time job to supplement mine buffer. Getting jobless i also a good time to reflect on your working life and plan for the future again.

I'm thinking of joining the national reserve (army reserve), which at least isn't as boring as most desk jobs and i hope too hone some leadership skills. I'm also planning to get involved in virtual training for emergency services. If both doesn't work out, i will probably just get anything i can. The unemployment rate is actually really low in mine country, so if i really want i job i can get one.
