Esthetician Vs. Property Management Career?" See Below>>> Please."?

I am a middle aged lady. My looks are holding up pretty well.. I do look a lot younger then my age. I am at this time helping my mother who lives with me battle cancer. She has helped me in these economic hardships.. and with a bad car accident I had a few years ago. I lost my job last year. I am signed up with a program that offered to pay for me to obtain marketable skills. I was wanting to go take a 5 month course in Estheology.. to become an Esthetician. However.. I read countless blogs.. Although the spa industries have not been drastically effected by the economy.. because of the caliber of people who go to them.. that never seem to run out of money.. Some people said they couldn't find work or had to supplement their income. I called around.. and one spa told me they pay hourly plus commission and tips. Some were doing well.. some were not. I was torn and desperate due to my circumstances here with my mother and I have been helping her a lot. It only takes five months.. for this program then the licensing.. I am single still. I will rely on just my income. The Esthetician costs a lot 10 grand that I would have to take out... a student loan. The next option was the one the program approved for me Property Management. The school cost.. not books.. would be paid for me.. which is a lot...... cheaper. But.. it does not include computer classes.. that I will in addition to have to take and pay for. .. at the Community College. I am so... not interested in.. or good at Computers.. I may sound like an idiot here.. but.. I sat in a class and left.. it was like latin to me. I have my personal computer.. but.. chatting.. and checking email..and doing research is my extent. To me its Super complicated. That being said.. I used to work with an older man who use to daily.. tell me.. "Do What You Love And The Money Will Follow"... He also told me about this successful man he once knew who worked as the CEO of RollX Watches.. and he made billions and hated his job he told him. He said he wanted to be a comedian.. and end up taking his life instead. He did not want to do it .. with the risk of the money he was then addicted to making.. It was a double edged sword. Well.. The property management course would in total with the extra computer classes take me about a year and half to finish up..all. The instructor is an attorney and said she has a lot of employer connections interested in students and not enough students to fill the jobs. She said I would make only salary and start at 30 a year. To me the job leads and steady salary and income was what I was attracted to most. Not the job. Not the computer knowledge I despise. I want to be self supporting and not worry about getting the hours.. or clients.. although esthetician is much more me. I could branch out and do make up... or alternative modalities incorporated into having a side business. I see the people doing what they love.. who are So Much happier then those doing what they have to do to survive. I am afraid I may be choosing this for the right reason... but the wrong job for me. In this Property Management Program.. I would be able to get a Real Estate and Brokers License from this.. and work from home for myself. I watch those shows where the Realators or Brokers.. travel to other countries to sell millions dollar vacation homes.. That part sounds appealing to me.. But.. being a Property Manager.. doesn't as much no. I would be cooped inside OR.. maybe showing apartments and doing office work. I am not sure.. if I could take just courses to be a broker or Real estate and broker or not alone or in addition to the Esthetician. I suppose my fear is that I won't find work or would be homeless. I don't want to be... but.. I want to be happy and do what I enjoy. Like I said.. I would not mind and am able to travel to sell vacation homes.. but that to me is not your typical Property Management job. Please help.. Thank You
