Default conditional sentences

What is the difference between these two sentences?
What will you do if you lose your job?
What would you do if you lost your job?
I know the conditional sentences type one and two. I mean the meaning.

Thanks

Default Re: conditional sentences

In the first, there is a real possibility of losing your job. In the second, it's hypothetical.
