Pivoting from line cook to something new

I want to move from line cook to something with more stability. I do not usually post, so bear with me. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 5 months.

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