Confused about life - what should I do for a job?

Hey all, I'm a newcomer here, stumbled upon here accidentally
by a random google search result - I think it was "Do You Find Vaginas Attractive??"
LOL :-D

So, atm I'm working at a call centre - IT Helpdesk - a mightily boring job.
I'm talking to n00bs all day long explaining simple stuff like how to setup email.
Really frustrating job and I find myself disillusioned.

I'm in my late twenties now and I'm at an intersection and I don't know where
to go (as in career wise). I know I have 2 interests that I want to pursue:
one is molecular biology and second is photography.

If I want to be a biology researcher it's gonna take a looong time to do that from
my point now cos I have to study bachelor, master, phd, postdoc and so on. Plus
I don't want to relive being a poor uni student again.

Second path is more attractive since I am doing it now but the thing is that it's
not easy to find a living as an [artistic] photographer. I haven't even got a clue
yet on how to do it. Yes, I am looking around on how to establish a home-based
photography business.

So my question to you guys is: have you ever got to this situation before, where
you just don't know what to do for a job - and are you happy with the decision that you take? Thanks for the suggestions and comments!
