Should I go back to school?

I fee like I am in a rut and I need help.

I have my BA in English plus I am a fully certified teacher K-6. I graduated Dec. 2008 & have yet to find a steady career (I substitute and bartend). I feel like I need to go back to school because 1) I miss it 2) I feel like I am wasting time and 3) I really hate my mind-numbing night job and feel like I should be doing so much more with my brain/talents.

I am very interested in getting my Masters in Nutrition so I can develop healthy lifestyle plans for children. It would take about 3.5 years and approx. $30,000. I am struggling with spending this much money and then maybe not even getting a job- especially in this economy. I was lucky not to have any loans in undergrad but I would have to borrow all of this now.

So, I guess my dilemma is, Do I go back to school but put myself into debt? Or have no debt but go day to day not having a steady career (feeling of purpose)? Should I just start taking some science classes and see if I like it?

AHH!
Thanks :)
