What is the Universe trying to tell me?

so, I had this great part time job working with kids in a computer lab... not alot of money or anything, but a job. I got a layoff notice from the school district last week... so no job. Yesterday I was involved in an accident and the person who was at fault never stopped, just kept going as my car sat in the middle of the intersection totally mangled. So I figure this is some sort of sign from the universe that I need to change what Im doing... or stop what Im doing...?
