I would like a career change but am not sure which way to go; I do not want to become as drained as I am in my present job.

Get back in touch with what you are passionate about. This will help you clarify what it is that makes your heart sing, the things that you love to do. If you are going to make changes in your life why not give yourself the gift of fulfilling your potential...
37 year old married man with 2 children, who has worked in sales all of my working life. My passion in life is to cook (been on MasterChef twice). I am truly torn between doing what I love to do and what I can afford to do. I am sure this would be an easy decision to make for a single man with no commitments, but not for one with children and financial commitments...

I am sure that when you name your situation - feeling torn between doing what you love and what you can afford to do - you speak for many others.
One thing to acknowledge, right from the start, is that you know your passions, and have made serious progress towards expressing them already - on TV, through weekend jobs. Bravo!
You clearly have flair, courage and a go-get attitude which will stand you in good stead...
