Pivoting from machine operator to something new - first time posting

After 9 years as a machine operator I am thinking about moving into a different field. I have a little time and a small budget for training. 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.

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