Pivoting from data-entry clerk to something new, data-entry clerk here

I want to move from data-entry clerk to something with more stability. I am in Minneapolis, in case local advice matters. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

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