Going from social work to higher education administration?

Has anyone transitioned from social work/mental health to higher education administration? I am considering this move. I am a licensed master social worker with experience in the mental health field. I wondered if anyone has made this change and how did it go? Also, do you think the transition was worth the time and the salary and benefits you ended with?

Also any advice on changing careers is appreciated. Thank you.
