Confused About Direction

...See more I’m really confused on how to tackle this new part of my life. I’m a young adult, still learning how it all works. My spouse and I left our hometown a few months back to build our dream home somewhere new. It’s great, but the job hunting is difficult. We expected it to be, but I’m starting to get very anxious. I’m a cosmetologist by trade but I specialize specifically in men’s hair/beard care. I would like to stick to this. My spouse says he’s been job hunting, but I don’t see it personally, but I’m not going to nag at him. However, the bills are due, and I’ve decided to take the first job I could find. It’s completely outside of my spectrum, not even within my cosmetology trade, but it’ll pay decent. I know it’s a good opportunity, but I’ve been stressing out about it because it’s not what I want to focus on. But I have to pay the bills. What irks me about this as well, is that I need to save up so that I can transfer my cosmetology license into the state I’ve moved to. But if I’m not even working within that field, I don’t have the motivation to do it. I reflected on this all day, I’ve been trying to figure it out. But I shut down, I’m quiet, and all my husband has said is I’m acting weird and it’s upsetting him. I explained I was stressed, he dismissed it. Now I’m more than stressed, I don’t know how to handle this situation with him.
