Forgive me while I put my coaching hat on...there!

O.K. This sounds like a "should" rather than a passion. I think you really do need to find the passion about what you want to "be when you grow up" to decide what you need school to do for you. If you do that, then the 3 years for the degree will seem like nothing. I went back to "school" for coaching at the age of 52 and it took 3 years. I loved it because it spoke to my passion to help people.

There's a book called "Now What?" by Laura Bernam Fortgang that might be useful. Also, I would recommend getting a coach. This isn't as self-serving as it sounds. A coach can help you move much more rapidly through "stuff" than you can do by yourself. I got a coach when I was in your position and still have one today, five years later. It's a necessity, not a luxury, for me. Check out the International Coach Federation (http://www.coachfederation.org/ICF/) to learn more.

O.K. Coaching hat off!
