Don't worry, another job always comes along. Whatever you do, don't take an office job. Some pay great, but they are crap compared to working outside. If you are the guy with the bad back you should consider moving into the golf course maintenace jobs. My friend's father took care of a course in NY his entire life and he loved it and was doing it in his 70's. Don't know what they pay is, but it seemed like a great life.
