Hurray! That's exciting. I'll cheer you on.
I'm doing the same thing at age 36 - finally decided on a career instead of just going with what I fell into. Same spot as you too - I have to work at the same time as schooling and I have a house. I will still be using student loans. More power to you if you can avoid that. Hurray for us late bloomers!
