I recently faced a layoff from a well-paying full-time job that utilized my master's degree. While the position was a good fit on paper, the toxic environment made it unbearable, and I believe this change is ultimately for the best. Now, as I navigate unemployment, I'm feeling uncertain about my next steps. I have a couple of options in mind: I could focus on enhancing my resume through training and volunteer work while applying for new positions, which would allow me to appreciate my free time, albeit with less income. Alternatively, I could return to waitressing part-time to generate some income while I continue my job search, but that would likely leave me with less free time and potentially put me back in a draining environment. I'm open to any advice on how to approach this situation.
