I had the same thing happen to me a while back. I ended up becoming a day trader for about a year. It wasn't a terrible time, at the end pretty much came up scratch. Had time to pursue a lot of IT related things and it made computers fun again. Once i got over that, I couldn't wait to get back into the field. I got back into it about 3 months ago and couldn't be happier.
I officially like Microsoft more than Google...wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, hell even 5 years ago
