You don't really have to have an education degree or even what I think you mean by an education mindset. But many people do feel like they're stepping outside their comfort zone, at least initially. When I did it, I felt pretty comfortable. And my financial resources were limited at the time.
In a sense I have to admit that I'm envious! I would love to dedicate a lot more time to educating my kids. (I give an hour a day to it now.) Unfortunately I couldn't pay the rent doing it.
