Changing careers at 8 years into a job, is it realistic? after 8 years as a web developer

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Has anyone made a similar move?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
