Pivoting from medical assistant to something new - what worked for you?

After 5 years as a medical assistant I am thinking about moving into a different field. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Has anyone made a similar move?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
