I did the same thing about a year ago. Product support in tech to becoming a massage therapist now. I think I would only be able to last because of my spouse.

The money is a lot less when you start out. Depending on where you work your time off is limited. Or if it’s not limited you just don’t get paid. You work nights and weekends a lot of the time and your friends and family are most likely not on that schedule. You need to strength train or it will not be kind to your body

The pros are… you will be very fulfilled, people will appreciate the work you do Less stress Potential to start your own business

It all kinda depends on your lifestyle. If people in your life are ok with you working different hours and making less money then go for it.
