Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? - 23 weeks in

    Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a welding apprentice. It has been a long 23 weeks. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

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

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