Changing careers at 9 years into a job, is it realistic? after 9 years as an accounts payable clerk

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I have a little time and a small budget for training.

You likely have more transferable skills than you think. Write down what you did, not what the job title said.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
