Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - first time posting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a store manager. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

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 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
