Go back? Sure. For psychology? This will not "enable you to earn some money," my friend.

There's nothing wrong with jumping tracks. Ten years is enough time spent hating what you're doing, find something new. But here's the deal: this is either a fast-track to a new career path that earns you money, or this is for self-improvement/edification/happiness blah-di-blah. You have to decide which it is. Given what little I know of your personality, being a counselor is neither going to make you happy nor rich.

I'm not sure what sort of jazzed-up MRI tech certification you were looking at, but I don't see any that take 6 years to complete. The community college here has them starting at 2 years. Obviously I think the medical tech angle is a cool gig, myself. Or you could combine the two: if you want to be a therapist, look at speech therapy, or occupational therapy, or physical therapy--something where the folks actually have an excuse, and aren't just whining about their mothers. Our previous occupational therapist was charging $240/hour, though I don't know what portion of that went to the clinic she was part of.
