Should I try again, withdrew before classes at T15

So I applied for law school right out of college I felt kinda pushed toward it I got some great offers and took an offer from UT Austin with what was basically a full ride. Eventually though I got cold feet, I'm an introvert I have trouble making small talk or standing up for myself and my goals were to get a clerkship and work in public interest or the government preferably the FBI or DOJ program. I knew this was a tough path for even the best students so I decided my personality didn't match my goals and I withdrew.
Now its been 3 years I have a stable job that I hate but basically its an in demand professional field and I could theoretically get a new job pretty easy but I've thought of all the paths available near me and none sound interesting or fulfilling they're just jobs albeit stable jobs. I can't get law school out of my head. I don't want or can really afford (can anyone) to go into debt but I can't shake the thought of working hard and actually getting my dream job. Is this persistent doubt enough that I should pack up my spouse and dogs and move to go to law school or am I really not cut out and need to stop watching Boston Legal and SVU? I'm sure I could raise my LSAT plus the work experience and professional certification I feel I could get in a better school since my first time K-JD I got into the T10 with some scholarship
