Yvonne, there must be an area where you simply glow inside when you are one day away from being able to do that thing. Remember that feeling? That excitement?
Follow that "bliss" as some call it.
Do the fun job as a volunteer.
Find a place to work where you will get paid, but deep down you know you would do it for free.
Remember, there have been many like you who got what is called "a late start" and they are better equipped to handle their "career" at a more mature age than they would have been had they started at say age 20. good luck. njoy
