I am currently contemplating on pivoting a new career. Background: I make custom bridal wear and womenswear but the competition is really high ( Vietnam, people renting instead of custom order, etc). The pay is also absolutely low, and the labor is also high. I am feeling the crunch!

With the economy so sluggish I want to switch to Data Science or something in IT so I can work remote. I really dont have any idea how to start, what is the best advice you can give to someone who wants to pivot career?
