You probably know your gonna have to sell one or two of your cars. Do it now. The quicker you can free up a few K the better. You really need to figure out which path of employment you want to take. Dont mean it in a harsh way, but pull your finger out, decide what you want, and with the money free you can start booking courses. Put CV's everywhere. Dont wallow in self pity about loosing your job, think like you would when doing something to your car, get enthusiatic and pig headed about finding a job, and dont be disheartened if turned down for a few. Old dogs can learn new tricks.
. Employers will take you on if you have more than just a few years to offer them, and if you've payed for all your training yourself, they will look on you favourably. You dont have to have bags of experience, just prove how enthusiastic you are about the role, and tell them how successful you've been in previous employment. Good luck mate, and hope things work out well for you.
