Changing careers at 13 years into a job, is it realistic? (Raleigh)

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have a little time and a small budget for training. How did you start?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
