Description

The Asking Eric advice column is written by R. Eric Thomas.

Dear Eric: I’m a woman in my early 60s. I was recently given notice that my job will end in a couple months due to the current federal financial situation (it was grant funded). I loved this work but because my husband can’t move or work remotely, I’m limited to jobs close to home or remote.
