&gt; I&#x27;ve spend the last decade working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and a suite of other tools.<p>I think this is all we need to know. You have 10 years experience in web development. That makes you a Senior Software Developer at pretty much every company I&#x27;ve ever worked. I don&#x27;t think you have anything to worry about skills-wise. PHP is still in high-demand. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript aren&#x27;t going anywhere anytime soon.<p>Relax. You are in a fantastic position. You will hopefully even get a salary increase with your next job. The local paper couldn&#x27;t have been paying much. : )<p>The only concern might be your location. &quot;Local newspaper&quot; makes me think &quot;rural&quot; or &quot;suburban.&quot; If you don&#x27;t live in a city, that might not be a problem (teleworking jobs abound), but where I live (Northern Virginia) I can quit my job today and have recruiters begging me to start somewhere else tomorrow. So just keep that in mind.<p>Otherwise, I hope you will find yourself very happy this time next year in a new career and all this worry will just be a fading memory.
