Is getting a second bachelors in communications a totally bad idea?

To explain, I recently graduated with a 2:1 law degree from a pretty reputable uni. I never liked law...never had an ounce of interest in it and was mostly forced to study it due to family expectations but somehow I survived (barely) and walked out of it knowing I could never work in the legal field. I've always wanted to dabble in communications but I was always so scared because people always said it wasn't "worth it".

Look, I love studying and I've been mulling it over for MONTHS and I was wondering if maybe I should give it a shot and go back for a second degree in communications to study something I genuinely have an interest in. It just makes the most sense to me. The only thing holding me back is that it is completely time-consuming and I'd be in my late 20s by the time I graduate. Money is also a whole other issue. But ultimately, when I think about it...I'd rather try now and be content than delay or never know at all and have regrets.
