Unemployment Sucks!!

So after I got canned last week I have decided to try and make the best out of this bad situation instead of letting it get the best of me. I was browsing the local jobs at employ florida.com and noticed two things.......
1) I suck!lol, seriously! Right out of school I decided to go and start a family early which I do not regret cause I love my kids buuuut, I just wish now that I would have went to some kind of college. Even though I didn't attend I still always,always stress the importance of college to my kids. But I mean shit, even when I was in school -I hated it! I had soo many better things to do! Or so I thought.
2)Damn, there is alot of jobs out there for medical assistants!
I found that there is a program nearby that I can train in 9 months to get started in this.
I was all psyched about it until...pop!....(that was my bubble bursting),as usual.
I began to hear from friends that I will not receive my unemployment if I enroll in school...!??
What?
I mean shouldn't the office of unemployment or whatever the hell the are,be more than supportive of me wanting to attain skills that will make me a very in demand employee?
Does anyone know about this?
If so let me know.....
