Career change after a layoff, where to begin? (Salt Lake City)

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a medical assistant before this. My family is supportive but nervous. Has anyone made a similar move?

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

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 10 months.
