Okay. For starters, I hate my job. I'm a 35 yo, single-dad of two, with a mortgage. My job is a deadend. Before this, I was on my way onto something worthwhile but don't know if it's worth pursuing. I was accepted to nursing school but turned it down for the instant money. I'm looking at trying again but keep reminding myself of the 2 year committment. Is trying to find my bliss worth all this BS or should I stick with my loser job. Anyone else out there in a similar quagmire i.e. trying to find their bliss? Honest answers please.

Dude, just do it. 2 years will go by just like that. I followed my dream and I needed 7 years of schooling to do it. While I dont work in the occupation that I was trained in, at least I dont have any "What Ifs...." Put your head down and get at it!!!!!!!! You can do it.

Yes, you are not alone I was working at toys r us had to leave because of the fact that my family prepaid for a vacation and could not get the money back so now I'm left with no job and because we need money I will take anything at this moment.

I'm not in the exact same boat as you, but similar. My parents hate their jobs, and constantly gripe about them. However the money they bring in (well, my mom anyway, who is an accountant) is too good for her to just up and leave. She gets pretty spiffy benfits as well. Her problem is that she never knew what she wanted to do. That is HUGE, and a problem I'm facing now. But if you DO know what you want to do, then go for it. Not only for yourself but your kids. Seriously, if they saw their dad following his dream and achieving it, that would be a definite inspiration to them. I wish I knew what my dream was, so in this respect I envy you. Besides, you're obviously unhappy now. Do you honestly want a measley two-year commitment to stand in your way of a more positive life? Good luck!
