You only have so much energy in a day. You will just have to be cognisant about how you feel during the day so you don't go home tired all the time.

I have been in tech for eight years now and I still go home and code on my side projects every night.

I say go for it. I was starting school for mechanical engineering because I thought I was done with software. That was after doing consulting for a couple years (first job).

I think that was about seven years ago. I only did one semester before things happened, I moved and ended up at my first office job. No regrets.
