<prompt> Human: Since Im sure people will be curious, I didnt get fired for any specific offensive actions like pissing off my boss or looking at porn at work or anything. I was well liked enough at the workplace, but I got fired for lack of progression basically. My job was Construction Estimator but my degree is in environmental engineering. I didnt really have a passion for what I was doing, and I think it showed to my bosses from time to time. Basically, I had been there over a year and they expected me to be fully independent from needing any help or review of my estimates. I wasnt able to get to that point, through my lack of knowledge of anything about the construction industry when they hired me and also lack of enough effort on my part I guess. I was blindsided by it because I never had a performance review or any negative feedback from my bosses. However, its a small profit-oriented company so I understand why they did what they did. Im almost relieved in a way because I didnt love that job. My current financial situation could be a lot worse. Im 25, I have an engineering degree from a very good school, I have about 180K in savingsmutual funds. I have relatively low expenses for California. Unfortunately, I dont have work experience in engineering, because that estimating job was my first job after college and I obviously am not skilled enough in that to find a new job even if I wanted to.These are my main questions I could use some guidance on. If you have any stories or anything related to share, please do because I am feeling pretty down right now. I just got fired on Friday and then spent all weekend out of town and came back last night. Havent really had the guts to tell anybody yet. I had good insurance through this job. How do I maintain my insurance until I get a new job? Should I collect unemployment? If so, when do I apply for it and how long do I get it for? What are considered the best resources for finding entry level engineering jobs these days? I found that job on my colleges job listing which I no longer have access to. That job only took me a week to find, but I have heard so many horror stories of people being out of work for months or even years. Am I going to make it???Any feedback is appreciated.  <response>: I had good insurance through this job. How do I maintain my insurance until I get a new job?I believe insurance is usually good for 30 days or so past your date of termination. After that, look into whats available through healthcare.gov. At your age, it should be relatively cheap. I found that job on my colleges job listing which I no longer have access to.Call your colleges career center or whatever they call it and see if they can help you get access. I still have access to mine through my college, and I graduated 6 years ago.Am I going to make it???With 180k in savingsmutual funds youre better off than 99.999999 of people that get fired or laid off.
