I am changing from a legal to education career? I am going into preschool teaching and leaving legal assist?

Question

I have been doing this career for 21 years and I am not happy. I love children and worked in day care at my church over the past 5 years and am a foster parent in my state. I think at the age of 40 I am ready for a change. I am totally bored and not gaining any new skills or growth in legal. There is no room for growth or upward transition except if I want to be an attorney which I do not.

I believe I am going to take a drastic pay loss of about $10k per year since legal pays so high as opposed to preschool teachers. Is there a way to help me improve my chances of higher income in education other than taking courses and finishing my bachelors which I am doing both.
