Staying in IT after layoff?
Sorry to hear about your current situation. I agree that paying for continuing education without funding is difficult. You might want to check out my cover story in the March issue of Certification magazine entitled "Financing Your Certification." (http://www.certmag.com/issues/mar02/feature_tittel.cfm)
Although more debt is probably NOT what you need right now, low-cost loans may be appealing if you don't have a lot of other options. On the other hand, I hope you're also considering the following job search strategies:
1. talking to temporary agencies about temp/part-time IT positions
2. networking with all your friends, family, and former co-workers
3. posting your credentials on the various nationwide job sites (monster.com, dice.com, etc.)
4. talking to headhunters and placement firms in your area
Also, I'm sorry to hear that you feel a CIS degree is worthless. What did you study to get that diploma? How long ago? Perhaps if it hasn't been a really long time, you may still be able to get some leads from your undergraduate institution's placement office.
