It's not the end of the world my friend and there it might even be a blessing in disguise.

A friend of mine last year lost his job and is still unemployed because his job was in a niche market and for over the last 10 years he hasn't got anything else on his cv. His wife who has no qualifications is on £25k though because she stuck it out at retail.

The point in making is you are both still going and if you want you can get a head start on the housing market etc. Things which actually matter!

Don't panic, keep a level head and don't treat this as a negative but an opportunity to take a different route to success.

Also, you won't have any student dept!
