Hopefully it'll turn around for ya soon..Don't forget "who's hiring" comes out this week :-D Also, with 10 years exp. you're getting into the higher end of the pay scales, so rather then taking your ego down, think of it as "I'm no longer a starving student..."

I quit my job (Friday was my last day), so I'm waiting for it as well. I figure I'll take it slow, and try to find something that's really interesting. I'm 55, and got my last job about 3 years ago - so it'll be interesting to see if I get any pushback about my age...
