Changing careers at 16 years into a job, is it realistic? - first time posting

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. It has been a long 3 weeks. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 6 months.

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