Medical laboratory scientist to data science major

Currently work in the medical field in the lab. But the hours suck, I’m stuck on night shift until someone decides to retire or move so I can get a spot on 2nd or 1st shift. My plan b was to get a degree in something computer science related. I am debating if a masters in data science would be good for me? I don’t have much experience in computer, so I’m not sure how tough the courses would be. Or if maybe I should take some community classes before hand.

Any people out there that have transitioned from the medical field to the tech field,
