Seeing your interest in sports I would look into coaching. I've done the whole back to school thing--Twice. So I have a better job--whoopee doo. It's never going to be a motivator for me. It's just money making. It has a purpose and I do it.
Coaching on the other hand I throw myself into the effort. I'm passing on knowledge to kids, exhorting them to try their best, teaching them how to get along with their teammates and all kinds of life lessons. It's very rewarding. Yes it takes up a lot of time, requires preparation and hard work but the results are geared towards someone else and I think that's the key.
Just like my family where I spend the vast majority of time on them and not myself.
I've gotten myself in better shape financially and heck even physically and it's really meant very little in the end. It's just a whole lot more meaningful to invest in others. Family first of course and then outwards from there.
