Career Switch, I don't know.. Options

[Jen]

I've been going to school to become a teacher. This is something I have wanted to be my entire life. It's just.. lately I've been looking into becoming an Esthetician. For you men.. that is a skin care specialist. One who gives facials, waxes eyebrows, etc.. applies make up, etc. But the thing is, I've already spent a lot of money on school already to become a teacher. And becoming an Esthetician is only a certificate program.. I wouldn't need these "core" courses I am taking now.

I really don't know what to do. Should I continue going to school to become a teacher.. and maybe.. after my career is established.. do the whole skin care thing part time? I don't know. I just don't want to waste money. But, the Esthetician job pays 3 times as much.

Blah, what do ya'll think?

Here are a few little tips to remember.

The vast majority of americans will change their careers three times in their life. (I can't remember the number right now, it was like 90% though)

Life is short, when you're on your deathbed, the last thing you'll be thinking is "I wish I had worked more at this job I didn't like..."

So, do what is going to make you the most happy, and don't stress about what you're going to do because chances are, you're going to be doing something else in a few years anyway.
