    Only you can decide for yourself whether it is the right thing to do.

    However, as I have said in other similar threads, mature students bring a lot of very valuable life experience to the learning environment. It doesn't matter that you are unemployed, in fact, I would go so far as to say that being unemployed will give you an added incentive to do well.

    As for changing career, yes, perhaps you will have to start at the bottom and work your way up, however the IT jobs market is quite buoyant right now and is likely to be for the foreseeable future.

    It really depends on your personal circumstances.
