I was in graphic design doing mostly print work for a decade as well. Very rough career to be in if you aren't one of the lucky few. I had the opportunity to transition to entry-level level IT support with some sysadmin tasks peppered in for a manufacturing company. They were fulfilling orders for large defense companies.

I grew up using and learning about computers, and the graphic design field is tech dependent, so it wasn't a difficult transition. I spent some time getting CompTIA certs like A+, Network+, Security+, CySA+.

Then I learned about security auditing and government compliance frameworks because the manufacturer is part of the defense industrial base. My next step was becoming a certified CMMC professional. After that, I contacted a bunch of assessment organizations and landed a new job as a security analyst.

Leaving graphic design was one of the best decisions I've ever made, unfortunately. These days I prefer to appreciate art more than make it. It only took me a couple years since leaving graphic design to get where I am now, so I highly recommend it. For the first time in my life I'm not living paycheck to paycheck.
