I had what can best be described as a pre-midlife crisis. The summer before I turned 30, I was in a relationship in which I was not happy, my career had stagnated and my younger sister had just graduated from college. It felt like someone lit a fire under me. I went back to college, changed my career trajectory and ended the relationship. I spent 6 of the next seven years in college. I picked up two AS degrees, a BS degree and an MS degree. I roughly tripled my income, I enjoy my job and I'm now engaged with three children. "Someday" can happen but only if you make it happen. Don't wait for it, figure out what you need to do to make it happen and then do that. For me, the big incentive to get out there and make it happen was my angst over that digit on the left changing.
