so I can empathize. Even with skills in computers and networks the pickings are rather slim, so I set up my own lab to study new things, find another market to sell myself into.

For you, there is ALWAYS work for financial advisers, (if one can decide on a spelling, LOL.

The option of unemployment might give you some time to study and take tests like the Series 7 or 63, the ones required for selling certain financial products.

With the experience as a paralegal, there might be room for one that contracts to other attorneys? And with the option of unemployment, you could always volunteer at Legal Aid, which might network you into something else...

Good luck!
