How in the world do you not have a cosmetology license after 1600 hours? That's 40 weeks of fulltime work!
Ok, you're 29 and looking for a career. That's a little late to start, but you may have already found it. So I'm going to address this portion and not the relationship issue since that kind of seems where you're more focused at the moment.
If you're looking for an awesome and fulfilling career, good luck. Most people never find it. There are some - Baraka_Guru and I happen to be two of them, I think - but most folks tolerate their careers as a means to an end.
It seems to me that you've got a choice - you can either stay in California and work on finding a better job, or you can start over where the Love of Your Life (LYL) is. If you're stagnant in CA, and the little things are too much of a burden, a change of venue might help - it helped me a million years ago.
Here's the thing, though - don't expect to be investigating, challenging your mind and helping the world straight off the bat. It may not even be possible to get all 3 in one job - you may have to voluteer somewhere to do that. You could go to work for an environmental organization, charity or other non-profit, but those gigs don't pay well. Regardless, you're going to be starting at the bottom of the totem pole, so life will suck for a while. As long as you're willing to work hard and learn to be competent fairly quickly, then you'll move off the bottom and into a better role sooner or later. But you have to pay your dues.
Hope that helps.
