Bioinformatics is a quite tough subject to study as it involves 3 distinct sciences: CS, Biology and Chemistry. I would say be prepared for a lot of study. Ideally you don't want to go all in to risk everything, try to do it part-time for the first 6 months or 1 year and see how it goes (if you are even interested). Note though that there are few jobs in bio at the moment, and due to that, ads usually ask PhDs (who at the same time have bigger advantage over a Masters candidate, although your experience is of high importance).
