Changing careers at 14 years into a job, is it realistic? - 18 weeks in

I want to move from medical assistant to something with more stability. I have a little time and a small budget for training. How did you start?

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

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 2 months.
