What do I wanna be when I grow up?

I've spent the last three hours sitting here at the computer surfing around checking out school programs.

Problem is this:  I'm going to be 40 years old this year, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  I absolutely love the idea of getting a Masters in theater at UCLA.  I can't imagine a happier life than immersing myself in the theater again, and maybe someday teaching others.  However, I have also been obsessed with health and nutrition for years now due to my own physical challenges, so parlaying that into a Nutritional Counselor Masters almost seems a no-brainer.  Yet again, going for something where I could work with animals, or even be an Oceanographer also tickles the fancy.

Since I will be joining the ranks of the unemployed in a few weeks, I want, need, and must use every moment wisely and make strong decisions for my future.  This is because, if I am certain of anything, it is that I have not been happy in these office manager/administrative positions that I have held for so long.  It is like I have been trying to stuff my soft, round type B personality peg into a sharp, painful type A hole.  I am convinced that the inherent stresses in these jobs have contributed greatly to my overall downturn in health.

So, whatever choice I make, may god, goddess, spirit, etc, please guide me on this path and point me the right direction.
