Non-renewed, what do I do now?

I just found out 2 weeks ago I'm getting let go at the end of the school year. I've been thinking and processing for the past 2 weeks, trying to figure out what I want to do but I'm feeling stumped/stuck.

Does anyone have any advice on how they found their career after they left teaching?

EDIT: Thank you for the advice so far! I'm currently a preschool teacher, so packets are unfortunately not an option, lol. I'm working in a district run classroom that is housed in a daycare center, as part of a free state preschool program. This means I DON'T have any PTO, because I have to have worked for the daycare company for at least a year, and I DON'T earn anything towards tenure because I'm technically not hired by the district. This is also only my first full year teaching because I graduated December '24 and worked at another school for 6 months before coming here.
