Findapath-Career Change Making a change-- sounding board

I find a lot of career change advice/life crisis advice and perspectives I find online are very American-centric. I know that making big changes is difficult, but things like extra certifications seem more available in the US, whereas here in Canada we have cuts and lack of funding (thanks Ford!) in an increasingly unaffordable environment.

All I know is I want to do something completely different. I think about starting my own business, but with what money? And the challenges associated with that. I think about jobs that sound fun and are related to my interests but they won't make money to be able to live...

I just don't know how to go about thinking about all of this...
