Feel stuck at a fork in the road. What can I do to get past it?

Advice

As the title says I am at a fork in the road. I am a Advanced Pharmacy Technician with certifications in Hazardous and IV (Intravenous) Drug compounding with 10 years of experience in the pharmaceutical world. I have a associates in chemistry but never finished my bachelor's due to being homeless several times, getting married and having kids once I was stable about 4 years ago. I was looking at becoming a pharmacist but have repeatedly been put off by it from the amount of money needing to be spent, pharmacist I work with being unhappy in the industry (ranging from retail to hospital), and job saturation as well. I want to advance my self in the healthcare world and earn a good income of $80,000.00 a year or more. Should I try for pharmacist? Or should I use my experience being in the pharmacy to go into another healthcare related field? I would like to not be in school for 8 more years or more and be in debt with student loans amassing $100,000.00 plus. Thanks in advance.
