All good things must come to an end

On Tuesday, after going to an emergency area meeting, my boss called an emergency staff meeting to tell us that our concession is being closed in the next few months and we'd therefore be made redundant. Even though it's only a part time sales assistant position in a shoe shop I love my job so I'm pretty gutted to lose it (no more discount!!). I'm trying to be positive about things though - this could be my chance to find my dream job. If only I knew what that is! Since leaving the world of astrophysics I've struggled to decide what it is that I actually want to do. I've toyed with ideas of owning my own shop, being a writer, making some money from my knitting but to be perfectly honest I just don't know and have no idea what I would have to do to achieve any of these dreams. Time to put those research skills I keep telling myself I have from my PhD to good use I think! If anyone has any advice for me on the great career conundrum or any ideas of what I'd be good at then please comment. I'll keep you posted on how the job hunt goes.
