Changing careers at 16 years into a job, is it realistic? - any advice?

I want to move from bookkeeper to something with more stability. Thank you in advance. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Did you take a pay cut?

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

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