I need help deciding which path to take?

I want to become an FBI agent but I know that it can be quite difficult, so I was considering joining the national guards. My worries with this career path is I have a short amount of time to get in & get my masters degree & get accepted into Quantico before the deadline (Iam almost 29 & you can't be over 36 in the FBI). I also worry I may not even be accepted into the guards because I have a medical issue (TMJ in my jaw) which I could get a waiver for that, but that's a lot of ifs & maybes.

My other career choice is pastry chef, which I really love to do. The problem with this career path is the fact that there are no schools in my area that offer this program in my budget & the town I live in is already over saturated with dessert shops. I have been a stay at home mom for so long & the unemployment rate is really high here so I can't even find a job as a dish washer where I live.

I love both these career paths but I can't decide which way to go. What do you think?

    I would say choose what you think you will enjoy more. Ask yourself this: "Will I still like this job in a year?" Think about both the negatives and positives of each job and which job you have a bigger passion for. If you want to be an FBI agent, I would start soon. Also, find out if you can be accepted into the National Guards. I'm pretty sure you can. I wish you luck as you make your decision!
