It's definitely less money, but great benefits. Less money here only means less stress and responsibility. At this stage in my life, that is just fine with me. The gal who was laid off on the same day as me also got a job a couple weeks ago. Hers is with a county government. Mine is in a school system's accounting dept.

If you're out of work, keep plugging away. If you're in Michigan, there's some hope.
