The first was the company I contracted for lost its contract and the last one was a 30% staff reduction. I was replaced so they could save an additional 50% in payroll for a department starting with 14 people dwindling down to 6 when I was let go. I just don't have the mindset to work in corporate America any longer and the recurring nightmare of losing my job
there has completely shot my confidence.

Getting laid off from my corporate job was one of the main reasons that I decided to go to law school. Six months out of work gives you a lot of time to think about what you want out of life. I figured, if I ever was laid off from a law firm, I could hang my shingle on the wall and still make a living.
