Decisions, ideas?

Hi everyone!
Im gonna cut the story short and could do with some advice
Im an account manager for a beauty counter with no staff been looking for a career in travel as this is my main passion.
I had a call from travel agents whom im calling back tomorrow which will hopefully be about an interview.
My issue is if i do become successful to get a travel job do i go from £17000 a year fulltime to £12000 part time just because i think its what i want to do and what would you do? Im happy in my job but it can be boring. Ahhh!

    It is certainly not all about the money but you do need to be practical about what you can live on.

    Only you can answer the question on the balance of pay -v- career aspirations
