A: Take your case back to court and hope that you can successfully demonstrate that your efforts to find employment have been serious and persistent. Or you can obtain employment outside of your field and also show the court that you couldn't obtain work in the field you used to be employed in, but at least you're working. Then perhaps the order will be reduced. Honestly, it's better to go back to court with some sort of job, preferably obtained before the UC runs out, than none at all. Often the court finds that people who say they can't find work are not being genuine.
