Hi Tabitha...
First, I am really glad to see you back. I missed your intelligence and wit. :) Thanks for returning.
I haven't done a career change, so I have little advice to offer you, but I wanted to say that I think it's really cool that you're willing to do this. Making major changes takes cajones. (I'm 36 and would LOVE to become a certified nurse midwife -- but this means nursing school, which I don't have the confidence for.) :(
From what I've read (I'm job searching so I read a lot about this crap), more and more, employers appreciate - and HIRE - those who make career switches that involve more schooling, especially mid-career. Obviously, this usually points to someone who really wants to do the job at hand, someone who's particularly motivated and dedicated. Best a' luck in whatever you choose!
