Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - any advice?

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a pharmacy technician before this. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

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

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