I'm in the same boat as you, minus having a child. I've been cooking since I was 18. I like doing it, but don't love it anymore. There was a time when I did, but I think I was more in love with the lifestyle that came along with being a cook. Throughout my 20's, it was just wild, care free living and hard partying. I'm 32 now, and I just don't want that anymore, and now I just don't get the same enjoyment out of what I do. I've been thinking of going back into a corporate cooking environment mainly for the reason that most have educational assistance programs and I could go back to school for next to nothing. The only thing is, I HATE the corporate cooking environment. It's soulless and robotic, and you can see it in the faces of those who work in such environments.

Anyhow, I'm hoping to get back into school this winter to at least finish off my associate's in Liberal Arts, only 6 or 9 credits to go I think. Don't know what I'd even go for beyond that to tell you the truth. Maybe languages? I'm self taught(and very unpolished) in spanish. Would still have to find something else to do along with it, as knowing another language alone isn't enough to do much for me.

So no, I have ZERO solid advice, and I think what you're going through is normal enough.
