Career change after a layoff, where to begin? (Jacksonville)

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. It has been a long 16 weeks. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. Has anyone made a similar move?

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

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