C3 already. Crazy/too late to consider going back to school and becoming a psychologist ? I would have to take a bunch of prerequisite courses, apply to a Masters in psych, and do clinical hours.

Do it. Don’t look back wondering what if?

Probably too old. The job market for psychologists isn’t great, as I recall. If I were you, I’d live super frugally and try to save up $1.5M by age 50; should earn you ~$60k annually.

Then go back to school for something you care about—you’d have 20 years left. You should be able to get to $100k between the two income streams.

Sorry typo. I’m a C2 now.
I could also consider using it in business, if I change my mind later after doing it (org development, advertising, marketing strategy, etc.)
