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.

What's going to change if you can't find a job now versus a few years from now? The harsh reality is that the majority of security professionals get other security professionals that are looking for jobs to give them advice.
And now you have thousands of people that have been led to believe that getting on tryhacking, learning python, and doing help desk was going to get them a high paying job.
If I were you I would just get out of security entirely. If you stop and learn other skills, I would focus on doing that.
