Switching from sales to Salesforce dev is good move ?

I am 31, married, and I've been working in a startup for 6 years, earning around 70K in sales. I'm interested in moving to a technical field and have some knowledge of frontend and Postgres. Since our company is shifting to Salesforce, I'm considering taking the Salesforce admin -> Developer path. Do you think it's a good move considering my sales background, and will it benefit me in the long run? Or should I also consider a backup plan, like getting Azure Data Engineering certification? I'm feeling quite down and stressed, even with my engineering background.
