I was fired, what should I do?

Question

I am a musician by education, but in these hard times it's difficult for art people to find an employment, so I was really glad when I landed a job of a a surveillant in a school for difficult children (at least this was what the ad said), called Fond de L'Etang (named just for me). At first, this place scared me, the directeur scared me, even the children scared me. The directeur, Monsieur Rachin, was especially unpleasant, brutal and abusive to children. Many a time he told me how he disliked me. But by and by I got used to my job and even bonded with a teacher, Chabert, who I thought at first to be a clone of Rachin; but found out later that he was a firm believer in sports and music and even helped me to sabotage Rachin. I noticed that some of the boys had really good voices, and started a choir. A boy called Morhange was especially good, a real talent. Rachin never liked our choir and at the end forbade it. But when our benefactress,
a countess, heard about it and wanted to hear the signing, he quickly pretended that it was all his idea. He wanted a promotion, and one day departed to Lyon, to lick important behinds, hoping to get a medal for his "educational" achievements. Children were really disappointed that they did not get anything, not even thanks, for their outstanding performance, so Chabert and I took them for a walk to a local forest, the weather being fine. When we came back, we found out that our building was on fire. Rachin, who was called back, thought we were all fried alive inside, and his promotion, too. He was glad enough to find out that the children were not hurt, but
he dismissed me on the spot, because, as he said, if I stayed in, there would have been no fire. He paid me my dues and told me to go to Hell, I said I was leaving it. He forbade me to say "good bye" to my pupils, too. Now here I am, a failure, an old unemployed musician, with nowhere to go, with no family or friend, a pittance of money in my pocket and a suitcase which contains all my belongings, what should I do?

Answer 1

Nice summary of the film "Les Choristes"!

Monsieur Rachin will get his comeuppance and be fired too , your favourite pupil will be very successful and you Matthieu, will peacefully lead your own life giving music lessons for the rest of your life.

Answer 2

Stop bitching and feeling sorry for yourself. Instead grow some balls and get a better job. You were stupid to pick music as your career, since you knew chances of being successful was like winning the lottery. Why does it matter if its what you love? You could still do it as a hobby, because at the end of the day this is where you end up.

Answer 3
