Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - 23 weeks in

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a machine operator before this. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Has anyone made a similar move?

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

You likely have more transferable skills than you think. Write down what you did, not what the job title said.
