I am planning a career change from investment banking to psychology. Any ideas, opinions, suggestions?

Confused asked:
I am a graduate of the trade that made my MBA in finance in 2003. I have about 5 years of post experience (about 3 years with an investment bank). For most of my career, I have been unhappy with the kind of work I do. I realize that I'm more interested in 'people' something 'businesses' and is much happier doing something significant even if it means less money and' glamorous'. A change in psychology is to do my masters again and writing seven years. Would love to hear views and suggestions on whether this can be a sensible decision in the long term. We also appreciate any input on how practicing psychologists are really in terms of their work and conduct satisfcation or do somehting significant levels of stress, hours of work and flexibility. I would ultimately make my own independent practice. Now this movement has been comtemplando for about a year but feel a little insecure since I have been doing somehting so completely different.
