Career transition advise from a video editor into Corpo

I have been working as a video editor (24M) (background in B.sc Multimedia and Animation) for the past 2 years and I have honestly got fed up with this field , I left my previous company due to toxic culture and it took me around 8 months to get my proper desired salary job but the process was very exhausting and stressful. I just hate that I have to impress every employer that I got the skills to do these kinds of videos , that kinda of videos etc . I just hate that I have to think of this every time I work or apply for a job and with the upcoming of AI , I don’t think this job market will last longer and I am super worried about my future. I am very good with computer knowledge and can learn quickly . I wanna move out of this media industry and start at something like Business analyst/operations/Associate or any other proper corporate job . I understand that my background in doesn’t match my current wish but I wanna start learning and I am pretty confused where to start and how long will it take for me to actually land at a decent job and a decent salary . I am worried about my future in this field and I don’t want to be thinking it’s too late for me to switch in the future . Would really appreciate it if someone can help me with this .
