I love my job. I went back to school at 28 and changed to the IT field at 33.

I got a University Degree, but that's because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I started and was leaning towards software development. In retrospect it was overkill, but I still value that education.

If you don't have any related education or actual tech experience, that SAIT program seems like it would be a good start as it would force you to focus on the stuff that would be valuable to learn.
