Changing careers at 14 years into a job, is it realistic? - 2 months and counting

I want to move from forklift operator to something with more stability. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

I took a small pay cut for a year, and it was worth it for the growth afterwards.

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