Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 22 weeks in

After 5 years as a graphic designer I am thinking about moving into a different field. I worked as a graphic designer before this. I have a little time and a small budget for training. How did you start?

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.
