Do the healthcare but keep the kitchen. I manage a kitchen (Nutrition Service Department) in a LTC facility, have a staff of 25 under me and only hafta actually cook when someone is out sick. Work my hours around the tides too. Not getting rich but decent benifits and no nights....

It sounds like you might be at somewhat of a crossroad as far as deciding what career path you want to take. I would recommend getting a copy of "What Color Is Your Parachute?" It's a pretty good guide for people in your position. It has exercises that, if you follow them honestly, will show you what it is you want to do, or rather what it is you'd like to do. I think they update it every year now.

So I just applied at CCRI . Going to try to get back in the groove for the fall with a few courses over the summer . I'm sure I will need some remedial courses , seeing I haven't been in school since '97 , ehhhh. Hopefully over the summer I can find what direction I want to go .

Don't think Id be much of a salesman , unless I could find something that really interested me .

Westport , thanks , but not sure if I can push paper for 40 hours

I thought about healthcare cooking , but I want out !

Jimbo , def at a crossroads , with no firm direction yet ... Book sounds good , gonna order it up today .

I really appreciate everyone's input . Thanks! Any other advice is greatly appreciated !

Going back to school scares the hell outta me , but not as much as cooking for the rest of my life !

There is nothing to be scared of, trust me.

Except for some of those aggressive coeds.

I work 20 hrs a week and have a processor push the paper. It's not too shabby

hmmmmm

More appropriately, what do you WANT to do? Figure that out, then go to school.

Mortgage biz could be awesome, but then you could be miserable doing it. Even for 20 hours a week.

Mgt has its ups and down, hiring people sucks, firing people is ok. :hihi:
