Just thought today in bed that with software development, one can never completely lose. Even when unemployed, you can still build stuff, and eventually perhaps even sell it. On the other hand, I am not sure how to pass time as an unemployed stock broker, for example? One could write a book about investing, but after a while, that could become boring.
So I think for starters it might be a good idea to pick the profession where the skills you acquire enable you to create stuff...
Very interesting way of putting it, something I've always known but never considered comparing to other jobs. Then again you still need to pay the bills while unemployed :) A plumer may have more luck doing 'perk' jobs.
