Changing careers at 11 years into a job, is it realistic? - first time posting

I want to move from welding apprentice to something with more stability. Any experience at all would help. I have a little time and a small budget for training.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 6 months.

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.
