Pivoting from production planner to something new - 14 months and counting

I want to move from production planner to something with more stability. My family is supportive but nervous. Has anyone made a similar move?

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

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 14 months.
