Default Changing industry

Hi,

I am 43 years old working as a Legal admin at a local law firm.

I am tired of the jobscope and I do not have a legal diploma or degree to do anything other than a support staff.

Recently, I have the desire to change industry , preferably something more meaningful and I am looking at the healthcare industry after visiting my mum at a hospital and saw the nursing staffs taking care of the patients there.

I have the desire to study nursing but can't afford a 3-years full time study and there is no such thing as 'part-time nurse course'. So I will have to endure a 3-years no income if I have to go study nursing. Part-time jobs are out for me as well. At my age, it is really a high risk.

So perhaps, nursing career is out for me. But still, I have the desire to work in healthcare, even if it is super low-pay Clinical Admin/ Assistant kind of job.

Do you think it is not wise to make such a move ? Though it is not my 'burning desire' to be working in healthcare, but it is definately a meaningful industry.
