This is a question Waste of money

I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.

Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

That's where I'm seeing jobs posted.
Highly unlikely that I'll move there, though. Again, too far from my kids and family.

My best guess is that I'll find some way to stumble along for a year, sell this house (pretty much guaranteed that I can at least get rid of it, if not make money, because it's a half mile from one of the highest-rated high schools in the country), then figure it out from there. I've married a college professor who is quite open to the possibility of leaving this area once she gets tenured and can start shopping around to other schools for better pay. If we do that we can dump her house (or rent it out) and start fresh somewhere else and not have to worry as much about me having a career. So about two years from now I may be completely off the hook, as it were, and be able to call myself an artist for real. *chuckle*

It just seems horridly ironic that I spent so much money and time going through hell to make sure I had a decent career, only to have the economy shift and make it impossible to work in my chosen field.
