text: If you are looking to start over and you have the financial flexibility, consider taking out a student loan and going back to school. That will give you some time to get on your feet, and it can be much easier to transition into a new field if you have some defined credentials.\n\nAlternatively, if you are willing to take risks and have a good idea, this might be a good time to start a new business.\n\nThere are lots of good fields to enter, anything from nursing to computer programming to molecular biology. Mostly, it depends on what you like to do and what you are good at.\n\nSpend some time thinking about what you wish you could spend your time doing. Is it working with people? Analyzing data? Working with your hands? Writing? Traveling? As long as it's not "sitting around watching TV" or something (and really, most of us would get bored pretty quickly with that), there should be a number of potential careers that allow you to do that.\n\nMost importantly, no career, no matter how lucrative, is the right career for you if you don't enjoy doing it.
