Unemployed and Not Having Fun

So, the move has been made. Since my last post, my boyfriend and I have picked up and moved to the Big Apple. This last year has involved more moves for me than ever before. I feel a little disoriented, I have to admit.

I'm looking for work and the economy is not on my side. Also against me is the fact that I'm trying, still, to decide what I want to be when I grow up. At the tender age of 32 I'm figuring out that I may need to go back to school and pursue a Masters degree in Speech and Language Pathology.

Making the choice just a bit more difficult is the fact that I have law school loans and would have to take out additional loans in order to earn this Masters degree. Oh, and did I forget to mention that I have to take pre-requisite courses (not eligible for financial aid) before applying to the program?

My rational mind tells me this plan of mine isn't financially feasible and would just end up taking up more time that I could be using to earn money and establish a stable life for myself. My risk taking heart tells me that this is a perfect opportunity to finally do something that matters to me and that may provide that long sought after stability. Which one will win?
