Not crazy. Just realize it’s a LONG process… First schooling, then hours, then licensing… It’s really important to know what you want to accomplish, b/c having that goal in your mind can keep you chugging along.
Social Work is a field where age is probably an asset! Many prefer to go to an “older” therapist, who is perceived as more experienced… So you may have to wait a few years 🙂
I am currently in an MFT program where I live (a very popular version of social work). Out of five people in my supervision group, at 28 I am the youngest. One is in his late 30s and the others are all (well) over 50.
GOOD LUCK!!! HATZLACHA RABBA!
