Wow, a seemingly simple problem has gotten a bunch of very well thought out and incitefull responses. I hope mine comes across half as well. This is my first post ever on any web site, in fact your dilemma is what got me to register so that I could respond.
When I was 41 years old I quit my job and went to medical school. The number of people that thought I was crazy is legion. Now I am 58yrs old and I have 2500 patients that are very happy that I did, they all truely love me. This is not because I am a great scientist/physician, it is because I love people and taking care of them. This is what I am supposed to be doing.
Do what is in your heart and you will never go wrong. Will it be financially successful? Who knows, work hard, work smart, and enjoy your labors. Then what happens, happens. You will be happier.
How does it come that I am posting this on a draft animal farming site? One of my patients farms with horses. They had me out 5-6 times for group drives/ plow days/ canning days. Oh no! I want a small place, a couple of horses, maybe a wagon/cart to go to town in, “nothing serious you understand, just somthing to have fun with”, maybe a few acres that I can crop, I can take the produce to town in the wagon I buy….the point here is that all of you are actually doing this stuff and you are only limited by your imagination.
And me? Well my wife thinks I am absolutely nuts, but that is ok, she lived throught it before, she should be fine.
