Changing careers at 18 years into a job, is it realistic? - 6 months and counting

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a production planner before this. I have a little time and a small budget for training.

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.
