Pivoting from mechanic to something new - 21 weeks in

I want to move from mechanic to something with more stability. Any experience at all would help. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. How did you start?

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.
