I certainly don't think so. You are adding to your portfolio of capable tasks but I do question why the sudden switch. Can you find another job that employs both of your skills without the drastic pay-cut. I just feel that you have worked hard to bring yourself to a current position and I would think you could learn the extra knowledge and new field in your "spare time" and go to school in the evenings rather than sacrifice salary especially if you are in relatively the same field.

If you were switching to say sanitation engineer that would be a different story.
