Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot?, teaching assistant here

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. How did you choose?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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