Changing careers at 6 years into a job, is it realistic? after 6 years as a bookkeeper

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I have been trying to stay organised about it. My family is supportive but nervous. How did you start?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 14 months.
