Returning to School in Mid-30s?

Hello HN... I am considering a career change into cybersecurity and would appreciate any guidance and insight those of you who are in the industry might be willing to offer.

I'm a mid-30s attorney living in south-central U.S. I currently represent large corporate clients in the healthcare field. I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Admin and a J.D. from a state university.

I am considering returning to school to pursue a career in cybersecurity. It has been a field I have been heavily interested in since I was a child. I have attempted to keep up with the evolution of cybersecurity throughout the years, maintaining general knowledge concerning current tools-of-the-trade, etc. However, I am admittedly a script-kiddie (I have spent far more time attempting to read/interpret code than write it) when it comes to being hands-on. I can complete the easy hackthebox challenges but typically have trouble with more difficult stuff.

So, I am contemplating returning to school to pursue what I often feel is my true calling. I admit that my primary concern is that I will be significantly lagging behind most others in the field who have held jobs in cybersecurity since their early 20s.

I also wonder how important it is to graduate from a top-tier school. When it comes to lawyers, graduating from anything but an Ivy league practically guarantees you will never be presented with top-tier employment opportunities in any large city. Does the same apply to cybersecurity? If so, to what extent?

I wonder whether the skills I've developed over the past 8 years practicing law might be beneficial in the cyber arena.

Finally, I wonder whether my love for this stuff would soon fade after it became "work." Have any of you experienced this?

I would love to hear thoughts any of you might have regarding the above. Thanks in advance!
