I understand your desire to change careers, especially if you have health concerns with your given job.
The pay is good - depending where you end up. Each of us will have a different opinion as to how to define whether pay is good or not. $100K comes up quite a bit, but that is usually gross pay. As a general rule, count on taking home 60% of your gross for wages above $100K.
The other thing to analyze is whether or not you will receive a return-on-investment for your training dollars. That decision is between you and your checkbook.
