Actually, I think that subject is fascinating in how well it might augment psychology. Seriously, that's one of the things that I muse about, how other sciences can act as models for more successful mental health treatments. Things like, how environmental sciences can be extrapolated into medical care, with the emphasis placed more strongly as the environment/patient as a whole, the biosphere/bodysphere sort of thing. And, of course, you'll have a whole board of us here to try things out on...
Beyond my own fascination with science type subjects, it also seems as if your subject would allow you to see some quantifiable aspects of psychology that might be less apparent to another practitioner. Maybe I'm totally out of my depth with that, but I still wish you well with your career change!
(And I went from accounting to manual work, so I can definitely relate to the difficulties of commiting oneself to a career change! Good for you for recognizing the signs that it was right, and acting on them. Maybe you'll inspire the rest of us.)
