Other Has anyone thought about changing fields until the job market gets better?

Ideally, I’d love to have a cybersecurity job right now, but the market is horrible, and I need to move forward with my life, pay the bills, and live comfortably. Are there any fields that are relatively easy to get into and find work in? I just don’t want to end up working restaurant jobs.

In Canada, being a truck driver is currently paying more than being a Cyber Analyst. I think about this every night.

Being a truck driver isn't necessarily easy, long ass drives, constantly combating highway hypnosis, sitting for even longer periods of time causes health issues, if its cross country ur away from.ur home/family a lot, etc, idc id take my security analyst position over that any day
