Hang in there.
I was Director of Support at a software house, knocking down 75+.
I was out of work for 18 months. Painted houses (had never done it before, except mine),laid tile(never done it before), did tax returns, did plumbing repairs, finished cabinets and furniture (never done it before). Was barely able to keep my house.
One year ago this Thursday I took a job at 24k. Today I'm up to 37 at the same company, and have 3 interviews in the next 3 weeks (one internal, two external).
Never, ever, give up.

"Never, ever, give up."
Absolutely correct. Lost my job in 94 that paid 58K. Out of work for 7 months. Had to move my family from Alabama to Utah to take a job that paid 48K. Two promotions later, I'm making 98K, back in Alabama. Best of all, I got a really great dane while I was in Utah.
