It gets harder to change careers but it's never too late. If you feel it's the right thing to do, then go for it. I was stuck in a career until I turned 39 and finally switched. I am soooo happy I changed. I'm normally a very happy person and love my work but over the years it was starting to really rip me up inside. I knew I had to change jobs. I don't regret the extra work I had to do in between to make it happen-it was all worth it. Now I'm making much better money, have better benefits and most of all I'm happier than I've been in years.

I would imagine you probably have to go to school full time for a year or two to be able to do that - can you survive without one paycheck for 1-2 yrs and hope you get a job?
