I have just recently done exactly that. I am now earning a third p/hour of what i was in my previous job but I am no longer bored out of my brain. Instead I am learning something new each day and can see so many options opening up!

I have to say though that I studied for 2 years for thsi new career and while I did that we paid off as much debt as we could possibly pay off with my earnings from the higher earning job. Good luck whatever you end up doing!
