Dear List,
I think I can use some input....
I'm at a point in my life where I'm forced to make some BIG decisions.
One of them has to do with my 'carreer'... I have a great job, I work
at the dutch health department, have really interesting work
concerning healthcare professionals, which is nice because I too was
one once.. (I'm oficially still a nurse)
Okay, so far so good. It seems that the further existance of my job is
questionable. We are reorganising and... well, I'm the youngest. But
nothing is sure yet.
So here is the dilemma.....
Singing is my passion, my every spare minute, the love of my life. My
teacher recently more or less advised me to go get a professional
education (conservatory). I was REALLY happy with his advise... And I
haven't stopped thinking about it since.
But: I'm 29 years old. Most schools don't accept over 30's, so I've
got to be quick
But: I have a full time, well-paying job. I've built my life around
that, and so has my partner. (the other love of my life)
But: I can't get the education part-time, so I would HAVE to give up
the job I now have
But: I'd be in heaven! surrounding myself with music! Learning,
learning!
But: my current job is really great and I might get myself another one
just like it. which would mean steady income.
But: I could always get a job nursing a few days/nights a week
But: I quit nursing for good reasons......
But: there are sooooo many pros and cons, one of them being my
partner. He supports my singing, I can even drag him along to all
sorts of activities, but a fulltime education will be one step too far
for him. Should I listen to him? I know that if it were just me, I'd
have enrolled already. But it's not just me.....
I could go on forever listing pros and cons, and I still wouldn't know
what the best move would be.
Any input? Have any of you faced the same 'problem'? What did you do
and why?
Thanx,
Nande
