    That's a really hard question (for anyone but yourself) to answer.

    If you really don't prefer one over the other I'd suggest talking to people in both jobs. Ask them what they love and hate about it. Get them to describe a typical day.

    Try to imagine yourself ten years from now - how would you spend your perfect working day? Don't limit it to 'be a beautician' or 'work in a playschool', think about the other opportunities/avenues being qualified would open for you.

    You could talk to a careers service...don't know the real name, like a guidance counsellor for adults. You could take a load of psychometric tests that might tell you which would suit your personality better.

    Sorry I couldn't give you any real advice! But fair play to you for putting serious thought into it.
