Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? - 14 months and counting

Three companies in Honolulu cut staff in the same month. There are 10 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more.

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

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