How much longer do you have before you get your degree? This may be an opportunity to accelerate that and you will find it a lot easier to find a good position after you have that piece of paper. At this point be careful how much you emphasize the fact you are in school, many employers will actually see that as a negative. They feel that you are only looking for a "temporary" position and that as soon as you finish school you will leave. Good luck and remember that although it looks bleak in the first few weeks these situations usually turn out being blessings in disguise, ending up with better positions with more options and fresh challenges.
One bit of financial advice if your, mortgage is going to be a problem notify the bank as soon as possible, believe it or not the last thing they want is for you to lose your home and if at all possible they will work out a plan to help get you through. The worst thing you can do is not tell them and start making short or no payment!!

Been Downsized!! Bob, Sounds like a computer-controlled manufacturing (CAD/CAM, Robitics) position in the making. Talk with a head-hunter. They may be able to hook you up, and the company will pay the fee. With that GPA, they may even spring for some of your education if you strike a deal with them. It can't hoit ta try.
