Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? - what worked for you?

Three companies in Minneapolis cut staff in the same month. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.
