Sorry you are having to go through this.
But if you would be getting roomates, that is a sign that your house might be too big. How much would you get if you sold & downsized?
Finding work can be hard, and if you want to utilize your degree, you might have to go back to school, while working part-time.
You can always find receptionist work, the problem is that it doesn't pay a whole lot. But the up side, is being in your situation, you shouldn't have to pay for school.
You can always try a home based business, but unless you plan to work it full time, it would be hard to make the money you need to pay your bills.
I would sit down and make a budget and see what you would need extra money wise and then plan the best course form there.
Good luck!!
