yes you can change
but you may need to do a few cources that you can put on your resume
its not that hard if you want to change jobs just do it so many people get scared and stay in a job they dont like which will make your life very unhappy

The story about the financial teacher above is excellent. Here's a way to lower your risk and still move in the direction you would like: there is something called "informational interviewing." This is not you looking for a job, and you need to make that clear as you network to find people to interview. Most people love to talk about themselves, and they also would love the opportunity to inspire a young person.
Let's say you were thinking of become a financial advisor! You would ask people you know, ask people in banks, go through the Yellow Pages, etc. and contanct financial advisor. Make it clear that you have a job, that you are not now looking for a job. Make it clear that this is strictly an "informational interview." Have a list of questions ready. You can find out how they got into that career, and what they like and dislike about it. You may even get a job referral! (But don't ask for that directly.)
Go to your local library to get books on careers, interviewing, etc. You local librarian may be able to refer you to a Career library! Often they have testing and other services for free.
Why stay in a situation you find dissatisfying without exploring your options?

Nothing is ever easy without experience.
But if you are truly unhappy with your job, then you should
think about what kind of job would make you happy.
My aunt was a junior high school teacher and at first, she
loved her job more than anything. But after a few years, it got
so hard for her and she was constantly emotionally tired.
Then she studied to become a financial adviser, and now she's
make a whole lot more money and she's way more happier
than she's ever been. You can't really achieve anything big
without taking risks.

Depends on what you want to change over to. I'd suggest researching what you want to do first. Are there lots of opportunities in your area? Will it involve going to school for any amount of time? If so, might be worth it to stick it out with the current job till you can complete that, so you'll have a paycheck. But definitely, if you're not happy, find a job that you'll enjoy. Otherwise, you may regret it down the road,
would've, should've, could've, DIDN'T. Good luck!

here's my experience, i was a waitress for many years then (after realizing i hated my job) i applied for secretary jobs and teller jobs and had no luck. i also have experience in retail and i just reluctantly accepted a job at a store at the local mall. so in my experience stay where you are or (if you can afford it) go to school and learn something new.

Go for it. A change is as good as a holiday.
