Losing Job, what next? Start my own business?

by daiuto . Updated 20 years ago

I’m losing my job. I work for a large Credit Card bank and my site is closing down. I have about 22 weeks of severence pay based on my 10 years of “dedication”. I’m also getting a retention bonus to hang on another month. I’ll have time on my hands but I don’t want to sit around like some of the losers that work here have suggested. I’m all about making money. Technology is what I like, but my personality needs to work with people or clients.
I’m thinking of starting a recruiting company. Job placement for Techs like the ones on this site and the 10 million other out there that jumped on the $$ band wagon. I could start now and have it running by the time my Oct 1 deadline hits. Don’t forget, I’ll still be getting paid until early Spring from this company. How hard is it to open the recruiting company? Does anyone know what my dangers are or what potential lies ahead? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my research, but I’m looking for another opinion other then those who are trying to sell their books.

Thanks,

Ron
