Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 13 weeks in

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Did you take a pay cut?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
