You lost your job? thats a tough situation. Is it due to covid?

Restatement or Paraphrasing
No, not due to covid. It's a gig job, much like mturk, but the company is dropping people from my state on that date.

I know its tough especially with the holidays and all. You have so many great skills and are such a hard worker I dont think you will have a problem at all finding something different.

I've been looking at other companies, but learning a new system after all these years is difficult.

I remember a time I lost my job and felt my whole world crumbling but then I realized when one door closes another door opens. when those doors close it seems that its usually for the best because it opens the path for something bigger and greater for you.

That's true. I've thought about looking into new fields.

Have you looked into some evening classes or maybe online schooling? I hear there are so many different options when it comes to online learning.

I was looking into that last night, but with covid, classes have had to cut enrollment and are already full for next semester.

They are full? well what about surrounding towns? Have you sat down and really thought about your passions and what you enjoy doing? Maybe theres an elderly person who needs some companionship or something like that in town for the time being.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I don't have a car, so I'm stuck doing classes locally. I think I'll just have to wait for the next semester.

Is waiting until next semester something your willing to do? That would give you time to reflect on yourself and your future and figure out what you want to do as a career. I could give you a list of other online opportunities to make money if you would be interested.
assistant
Question
I would be interested in that, thank you.
