Industry layoffs, what are people doing? after 11 years as a teaching assistant

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

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
