I think we talked about some of this stuff the last time I saw you, but to recap my views:
Do what makes you happy. I know there are aspects of being an editor you like. You seemed to enjoy having a flexible schedule, among other things.
You're not an old man by any stretch of the imagination. My mother was a bit older than you when she went back to university, and now she loves her job.
Do what you love until you don't love it anymore. Then do something else. Don't let preconceived notions of success or happiness dictate how you should live your life.
