My point is exectly that nobody can tell her what to do, or how to do it. I do not think it is wasting her time doing something that she absolutely loves (which she has said on several occasions here on the forums.
You cannot "waste" a degree. Whatever you have learned there, you still know. It is not wasted, just not used.

I will concede that the OP may eventually find what she is seeking by returning to her former gig and figuring things out from there. However, and I don't mean this direspectfully, pursuing happiness or power for it's own sake seems to me a bit childish. I could be happy surfing the internet and eating ice cream and chips all day, but would it really be good for me and more importantly - is this truly my purpose? These are the ideas I hope she will think about.

I disagree here. My purpose in life is finding joy/happiness. Not the shallow happiness that you get by eating icecream and watching tv all day, but the deeper, more lasting happiness. I believe this is everybodies purpose.
If for you helping others and building your own business makes you truly happy... what is your ultimate purpose.. Building the business or being happy?
For me, it is being happy!
All this is why I am saying that CroMagna should make her decisions based on what makes her happy. Not on what other people think of her or judgements of other people (such as, you are wasting your degree, stripping is a superficial enterprice etc). Only she can decide.
That is my advice to her.
