It is an intense program of study. However, the critical issue is whether you have a passion for the field. Thus, I would not think of it in terms of difficulty, on in terms of what it meant to you. Start slow, and build up from there. Make sure you are entering the field for the right reasons, and not just because of o job stability, and because the pay and benefits are good.
