So, you lost your job, ey? It is not the end of the world!

Hoookay....here's the deal. Young professionals in the Raleigh area are losing their jobs, taking pay cuts, and considering less than few options when it comes to advancing their career. What the media says is true...the economy is bad and the job market is even worse. Due to bankruptcy, lack of funding, corporate greediness, or any other unforseen circumstances many of us are in the same boat.

This blog is our advice to you as a savvy young professional that is looking for a way to pay the rent and still advance your career. Half humerous and half serious, I hope this blog will be a collection of ideas and thoughts that have helped me through the journey of unemployment. Losing your job is not the end of the world, but rather an opportunity to recreate yourself and have fun while doing it. Yes, it sucks that you no longer have a paycheck, your health insurance just kicked the bucket, and you have just been slapped with a huge dose of 'holycrapiamarealadult' reality. Given the right attitude and dedication, this could be the best thing that ever happened to you. Seriosuly!

Read farther and take some advice from two Raleigh locals that have made the best of their unemployment and maintaned a positive outlook by doing cheap, silly, and creative things around the city.
