Pivoting from security officer to something new - any advice?

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I am in Hartford, in case local advice matters. My family is supportive but nervous. Has anyone made a similar move?

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.
