I need some perspective... (long story)

Encouragement for your wife in her uncertain situation is what she needs right now. You are correct in the statement that she IS employable. Even if she decided to get into another profession. As for the school, nothing is guaranteed in any position these days. It sucks and I feel your pain. My wife is kind of in the same boat with her job. But the good thing is you will have the unemployment if she is laid off and she can always look into the option of free retraining programs offered by the unemployment office at one of your local community colleges. I will be praying for you. Hope this helps. - Tom (maniac)
