I did commercial retail site design/land development. I did quite a few projects for wal-mart, lowes, target, walgreens, etc...

I'm only 40 mins from Clemson University (pumping out 80-100 new graduates per year) and my area is heavily saturated with Civil design firms, all doing their best to stay alive. My old firm went from 28 people in early 2008 to 7 currently. I took the next best thing in this area that's not engineering. I'll be screwing together BMW's. It's only 15 mins from my house and pays surprisingly well. I'm at least past the hurdle of actually working again. It sounds stupid, but we all know how much easier it is to get a job when you have a job.

My wonderful veterinarian wife has been the rock the past [censored] near 2 years. She lost her job once as well and with her networking and good reputation in our area she quickly got another. We've been waiting to pull the trigger because of me, but now in the next couple months we can finally buy the 2011 V6 Mustang she's been wanting. She's been rockin' the same POS for 11 years.
