Industry layoffs, what are people doing?, dental hygienist here

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a dental hygienist. 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.

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