Exploring my next move

I was recently laid off due to a lack of projects. My employer offered me the option to stay on one day a week, with the possibility of increasing my days later, or to leave completely. They say it’s temporary, but I don’t feel I can rely on that.

To be honest, I feel a bit relieved because I didn’t really enjoy the job, but at the same time, I still need to earn an income so we don’t struggle financially. Now I’m unsure what kind of job I should look for. I feel a bit demotivated to start something new, especially because I also want to focus on learning.

I’m thinking of finding a part-time job in a coffee shop or a warehouse while I finish my course, but I worry I might get too comfortable in that kind of work. It feels more like a step backwards rather than moving forward.
