<prompt> Human: I posted this in a different subreddit, but didnt get much feedback. Ive been working as a graphic designer for a little over a year. When I think about the future, I dont see myself as a graphic designer. I dont see myself retiring as a graphic designer for some reason. In college, I wasnt the best in class and I struggled quite a bit. I enjoyed art though, so I thought it was the route to go. I knew in my heart it wasnt right, but it was too late to change. I love art and crafting as a hobby, but it isnt graphic design. I started a side business earlier this year doing calligraphy for home décor, weddings and various projects. I dont like to make logos in my spare time, I dont like to do any graphic design outside of work. Im afraid I chose something I like, not love.I just have been feeling frustrated lately. I literally can feel in my heart, Im not supposed to be doing this. I can feel that there is something else I need to be doing. Ive always wanted to make people happy. I love helping people and giving advice whenever I can. I want to make a difference in someones life. Im not making a difference in my job now.I thought about going back to school to become an art teacher, school counselor or an art therapist. I dont know if it is possible. I owe around 100,000 in school loans. I dont know if I want to add to that number especially if Im struggling already paying them. It would be easier to go back to school if I worked and lived in the same city. Right now, I commute an hour to work at a non-profit and an hour back home. Not only is that time I could use for school, but I also spend a lot of money on gas. With loans, car payment, gas, and food, I dont get to save much money. I live with my parents because I cant afford to live on my own. I dont want to be stressed about money if I decide to go back to school. Should I find a different job closer to home that pays less and not in my field in order to go back to school? Should I take online classes while continuing to work in my job now? Would it be a financially dumb decision to go back to school just because I feel in my heart I should be doing something else?Note- Moving closer to my job and going to school in that city is not an option. It is very expensive to live there.  <response>: No. I cant fathom being that far in debt and wanting to add more. Life kind of sucks once you get out of school and have to face the reality of working for 40 years, but getting experience in the world of the workaday corporate ladder is much more valuable than going back most of the time. Your earning potential as an art teacher is so low that unless youre planning to change that to something in a lot more demand and with a lot higher potential for earnings, I think you slog on as is.
