Pivoting from machine operator to something new - first time posting

After 14 years as a machine operator I am thinking about moving into a different field. Thank you in advance. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. Has anyone made a similar move?

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

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.
