So I've kind of hit a bit of a crossroad in my life right now. I'm at a very steady paying job that I somewhat enjoy right now. I'm 19 (turn 20 in December) and am making good money for my age group. The problem is my company is shipping out my department and laying me off from my job at the end of the month.

I'm currently trying to get a job with another department within the company so I can keep making the good bucks. So far it hasnt been working out. The job market out there is not particularly attractive to me as I have no desire to work in the trades. Most of the jobs that I would like that pay well require me to have a better education. Needless to say it's very frustrating.

I've always been one of those students who has the tools but lacks the motivation. Up until now I had no idea what I wanted to take at school but now I'm pretty sure I know what I want.

So my question is what do you think I should do? Sit back, collect my UI and go to school or keep plugging away at the job market?
