Changing careers at 9 years into a job, is it realistic? after 9 years as a store manager

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have a little time and a small budget for training. How did you start?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 4 months.
