Career change after a layoff, where to begin?

I want to move from bookkeeper to something with more stability. I am in Salt Lake City, in case local advice matters. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

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

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 9 months.
