Career Change: Should I Take a Pay Cut for Supply Chain Role?

I'm facing a career crossroads.  After two years at a finance company earning around 8500 (currency unspecified), I left due to wanting a career change outside of banking and finance. Now, I have a job offer in supply chain – a related field – at a smaller to medium-sized company. The salary is 2000 less than my previous role.  Should I accept?  I'm currently studying for a professional certification (two-year program) and have been unemployed for a year.  The supply chain industry is booming right now, with huge demand for skilled professionals due to recent global events impacting logistics and distribution.  While the pay cut is significant, gaining experience in this high-demand sector might outweigh the financial loss, especially while pursuing my certification.  What are your thoughts on taking this risk, particularly in relation to long-term career prospects and the current job market?  Any advice on navigating this decision would be greatly appreciated.
