It's an age old adage...gotta work to pay bills...survive...but at what cost. Lately I feel that I have sacrificed those things that matter most just to make a living...and it is not like I am making bank like that. My career path was not even chosen...I just happened to fall in to it..and now I can't even seem to fight my way out of it. It is like one of those "there is always work at the post office" jobs. I am in the human service field....even working on my Master's in it...But Why? I love to help people but I hate my job. I really want to go to cosmetoloy school....start my own salon....help people feel better that way....To leave now would be an extreme leap of faith...but I feel I need to take it for my own happiness...and my children's happiness over all. Every bit of my energy is wasted at this 8 hour gig...leaving nothing but weariness and anger when I get home to my children...who want nothing more but to love me...and receive the same in return.

Think of it this way do they need food,health care, a place to live etc etc but you can take a little time to be with them so they can remember it more.

You only get one shot at life... Try and find something you enjoy doing and makes your family happy... Money is important, but at what cost...? Sometimes we have to roll back our lifestyles in order to be happy... A lot of people live right on the edge, big cars, big house, expensive surroundings and possessions... but if you're not there to enjoy it, it all means nothing... You need a priority adjustment... and reassessment of your life... and if hair styling does it for you... follow your heart...

"Leap of faith" is the key phrase I take from your question. I agree with the others to pursue something more balanced and fulfilling. If you truly mean "leap of faith," pray about this possible change and see what doors God opens for you. He wants to help you reprioritize.

See if you can go part time at your current job, go full time to cosmetology school so that you can get into your dream job, depending how long you have been at a job, they may be very accommodating to you since you want to further your education
