I am changing careers, help me decide which degree to choose...

I am currently a Manager making a decent wage but I am bored, completely uninspired and I don't see myself remaining in this job for many years. I am trying to decide which program to go back to school for part-time while I work full time.

Pro: 

Degree: Associates/Business

  • My company will pay $5000 in tuition reimbursement per year
  • I need approx 50 credits to complete an associates degree
  • I could complete it in 2 years

Degree: Associates/Physical Therapy

  • It's a program I am interested in and a job I believe I could love
  • It's NOT a desk job.
  • It's making a difference in people's lives - how they manage injury and pain.
Con: 

Degree: Associates/Business

  • I'm not that interested in this degree and therefore my heart is not really in it
  • I will likely have to remain in the same type of desk job upon graduation
  • It contains courses that I am dreading

Degree: Associates/Physical Therapy

  • My company will not give me any tuition reimbursement for this degree
  • I need volunteer hours, prereq courses and will be placed on a waiting list to get in.
  • If accepted I have to complete 70 credits which will take at least 3-4 years so it will take a lot longer to complete.
