If i remember correctly you have kids and its not easy to do with kids but if you can go to school, some of it can be online, there are decent paying jobs in the health care field such as x ray tech and other technical jobs. There are shortages of people for those jobs in many places in the country , im not sure about where you are but you could look into it online. http://www.bls.gov/oco/

your state may have a similiar website. I hope you get back on your feet soon.
