Is this a waste?

25 yo. I have been in college for a total of 7 years. I have a Bachelors and Master's degree in and 50K in student loan debt, but I am just now realizing what it is that I want to do with myself. I am willing to go back to school to obtain a 2nd Master's degree--this time with some work experience to back up what I want to do. I am working and going to school part-time, but I feel like such a failure. I will have been in college for almost 10 years by the time I finish. I just feel like its such a waste and that I didn't use my time wisely. I just don't want to spend the rest of my life working in a field that I dont want or have to return to school when I'm older with kids and all. Can anyone offer any support or advice?

If you know what you would be happy doing, then that is the thing to do. Doing something you don't like and knowing that you could have done something else earlier would make for a long unhappy life. At 25 if you are still without kids and all that, then go for it and go for it now.

Yeah, you made some bad decisions in the past. But the past is just that. The time to decide the future is the time called NOW. Where you live. Now. Forget the past, plan for a good future. And good luck. Many don't have a clear dream and just plod through life. Go for it.
