I used to always say, study what you love, seek to work in what you love. I still mostly believe that, but having struggled financially, I see temptation to work in what will make money.

hahalebalou, funny you should mention dental hygienist as a line of work. That's what my sister did for most of her life. (When the dentist retired, she went to work in a doctor's office instead.) I don't see myself doing that, though. And nobody would want someone with my mouth working on theirs. (Not that they'd likely notice much, because my front teeth and crowns hide some of the truth.)

I'm actually pretty familiar with the acting world. I want to do film acting, maybe some TV. I'm not really into theater, although that's not to say I wouldn't work in the theater if it came as an option. I've read a lot of books on acting, but it's been a while. I need to read the latest info before I put myself out there. I know there's a lot of rejection and work is hard to get, but it's what I want.

I'm kind of interested in the game design and development because I enjoy the art and story arcs of games. I need to improve my drawing and art skills, though, to get into that part of it. However, I might be able to pick up code ok, so that's why I'm considering it. Even though I have the Basic Math and Pre-Algebra for Dummies books, I'm wondering if I should just sign up for them as classes. That's if I could take them over...at my current college, I already took them twenty years ago. I agree math is good exercise for the brain. I don't enjoy it, but I can re-learn it.

Thanks for your input, guys. I really appreciate your suggestions and help.
