I am considering doing a business management degree, starting at the end of June - not too sure yet though.
I was in your position back at the end of March. We had a meeting to tell us that the company was in trouble financially and they needed to lose people. They asked for staff to come forward if they wanted to take voluntary redundancy. I didn't put myself forward as the Design Manager (my boss) told me there was no way they would get rid of me. It was bad timing as I was due to go on holiday for 2 weeks at the beginning of April.

I came home to a letter telling me I was redundant! Two other designers were up too. They decided to keep the junior designer on because of his cheap salary and get rid of three senior staff. I was gutted for about a week but have ended up getting a job as a Design Engineer for a lot more money and only a few miles from home. Before I was commuting 40 miles each way so it shows things happen for a reason and usually work out!

I hope you get a good solution Anfield, all the best on that mate
