To social work or not?

I have started to come to the realization that maybe I shouldnt work in the social work field. Although I love doing what I do, I feel like maybe I should be looking elsewhere. I am constantly living pay check to paycheck, coming home stressed and exhausted.

I woke up this morning overwhelmed. What am I going to do with my life? I spent 5 years in college for law enforcement, something I am not all that interested in anymore. I am 26 and need to find something to do with my life, something that I am happy with, and that will pay my bills. For the last 3 years I have been working in social work, barely making ends meet.

The two things I have started looking into are Addictions Specialist or Cosmotologist, both of which will take about another 2 years of schooling. I am weighing all my options, I feel that both would be an experience that would be beneficial.

I wish it were an easy task. I am just not sure in what direction I am supposed to be going. It would be so much better if someone would tell me "this is what you should be doing with your life!"

I suppose I will continue mulling it over...
