Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 17 weeks in

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. There are 6 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a little time and a small budget for training.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
