    I'm in Pest control, so if I lost my job I would start my own pest control business and ask everyone I know for their business. How bout you? What would you do?

    I will start a business of my own like you are doing.
    I work in a footwear manufacturing industry. My field is Finance basically. I have a few business ideas in my mind and it won't effect me much if my boss fires me.
    I will have enough money to start my own business. I'll probably open a footwear outlet.

    I'd get on the dole... and then get rent assistance. Then I'd get myself a nice little apartment in the city. Then I'd use my Health Care Card to ride trains all day, and to get free medical services.

    It wouldn't be too bad at all. Because I live in a semi-civilized society where we take care of each other. Kinda.

    There's no such thing as "no benefits" in my country. Kinda.

    I don't have a job and am trying to start a business, so I guess if I had a job and lost it, I would do what Im doing now.

    I would be extremely happy. I hate waiting tables. :p But I guess that means I would have to go find somewhere else to work. Maybe a production studio? That would be pretty cool I think.

    it's a difficult condition, but there's always a way if we want to try and not giving up ....
    you could get a new job or start your own bussiness .....
