Pivoting from electrician's helper to something new - what worked for you?

I want to move from electrician's helper to something with more stability. It has been a long 25 weeks. My family is supportive but nervous. 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.
