Good luck! I'm hoping to do the same soon, but I am looking at it from a much longer barrel (52 as opposed to your 33 years).
There might be a way to combine both of your interests. Many school districts now use mental health professionals in the counselling/advising positions. You would probably need at least an MS though. There are many 4+1 programs though now, which only take one more year for your masters.
Online education is also starting to come into its own. It has been around for a long time but I think the quality of the classes has started to be address (YMMV).
If you are considering education, be sure to mark your FAFSA as such. You should be contacted them regarding financial programs available should you choose education.
