Forced to Switch to Second Shift

Picked up a weekend job working with kids and after a year I decided to leave my full-time job to go full-time working with kids BECAUSE my boss offered me a first shift position. This was a big decision for me as it was a major career change and 15% paycut. I’m 5 months in and now they’ve announced changes that basically leave me to work second shift (they are bringing in people for first from another location that is closing) or commute further and work with a different program of kids, or find a different position altogether. I had finally found fulfillment in my work and feel I have been robbed. I’ve been applying for other jobs and am considering just walking out on this job because I feel so devastated. I never would have taken this position without the promise of first shift.
