Should I quit my part time job to persue a career?

I work part time as a photographer in a retail studio and I think I want more. I love photography but I hate haveing to work holidays, weekends and odd hours. I have a family at home that I would like to be with. The pay is not grat and I don't see myself moving up in this career field. We are military so we move around every three years and don't have an opportunity to move up in any job. Again I love photography but I hate retail and sometimes the customers. I would like to find more of a federal job so that I can work set hours of Mon - Fri, no weekends or holidays. I'm almost 30 and just have a ged and that is it. I have thought about getting a job at a bank but I think I need to get some kind of accounting degree. I really don't think I'm school material. I've also thought with an accounting degree I can get a job as a civilian in the military and it can transfer with me everytime we move then I can have a retirement. What shold I do?

Little A,

The sight below has a career/education assessment page on it. You can take the test and see if you are college material or not. It will also tell you what fields you would do well in.

If you are moving every three years I don't think account would be good unless you plan to be like an auditor for the state. From what I hear that is like the job from h***!

Why not pursue photography? You can freelance from anywhere!
