Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - 26 weeks in

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. Any experience at all would help. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. Which areas are hiring?

I moved into operations work. The skills carried over and there were more openings than in my old field.

A short certificate helped me more than a new degree would have. Check what local colleges offer.
