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

After 18 years as a barista I am thinking about moving into a different field. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a little time and a small budget for training. How did you start?

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

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