I know things are looking bleak right now, but I can guarantee you that it will get better for all of you. My AI closed last year. Since then, I've managed to land a new job, and while the pay is slightly lower, I feel so much better and actually enjoy going to work once again. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me.
And I am not the only one. I don't know that anybody I used to work with is still unemployed. Trust me, there are plenty of available jobs out there. Once the initial shock passes, you'll see that this is far from the end of the world. You'll be okay.
