Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 13 months and counting

After 10 years as a production planner I am thinking about moving into a different field. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Did you take a pay cut?

I took a small pay cut for a year, and it was worth it for the growth afterwards.

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.
