Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? after 6 years as a mechanic

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a mechanic. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere. Who has switched fields?

Look at job postings to see which skills repeat, then fill the gap. That gave me a direction.
