Changing careers at 6 years into a job, is it realistic? - 3 weeks in

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
