You won't know until you've made the change whether or not it was the right one. Even then, you may not be 100% sure.
Yes, I've made a significant career change, and will be again in the near future. I used to be an Investment Banker and Trader with a Wall Street firm, and traded that in (no pun intended) for a combination of technically challenging and creative career in the Web development arena. It took a few years to go from hand coding to becoming a Web Strategist in demand, but it was worthwhile and I make a really good income doing something fun. I do have another change on the horizon, but a few years away, yet.
A few questions you need to ask yourself:
What's your passion?
What do you do exceptionally well that you also enjoy doing, and would enjoy doing for a living?
Can you handle making less if what you do makes you happy?
