Career change after a layoff, where to begin? after 17 years as a janitorial supervisor

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. Thank you in advance. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. Did you take a pay cut?

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 3 months.
