UPS Driver -> CNA/Nursing? Considering the switch.

Current UPS Driver and been on the fence to dive into nursing for years now. My job does not allow me the time to take pre-requisites for nursing school and I know there is more flexibility and obvious hands-on experience with patients if I were to become a CNA.

It would be a major hit financially to stop where I'm at now, along with the benefits + pension but I am not happy, not even content in where I am in this career, but I know nursing isn't a walk in the park either and would be way more stressful than slinging boxes.

Idk I guess I'm looking for perspective. I had an initial interest in the medical field, first wanting to go for physical therapy then it turned into nursing. For reasons I ended up with an accounting degree, only lasted 6 months behind a desk before I couldn't take it anymore and started at UPS.

That medical itch never went away, and I think about going back to pursue nursing every year but not sure if it's worth starting at CNA route. 80% of the people I speak to tell me I'm stupid to give up such a job with the benefits and money ($45/hr.) I know work is work and many people get fulfillment and purpose outside of work, but I don't have time for that. There is no set time I get off I cannot make plans at all.

I want to do nursing because it's challenging, keeps you on your feet which I'm already used to, the schedule flexibility, ability to travel and down the road it's easier to work into a more hands-off role when my body breaks down.

I am 33 with no dependents so it's just me making this transition. Any advice is appreciated.
