Career change

[Raven]

one thing not to do
is to think ...i need a fresh start
time to start over completely

because you can build upon
what you've learned as a chef
and use it in a "related" career

as you have "insider" knowledge
about how to order in volume.

Very good insight and words well said,you'd cut that learning curve alot,which would help offset the finance curve.

Tried for a few gigs highlighting experience that I could use in different fields . No calls yet . Seems few in this economy are interested in hiring someone with little direct experience .

The shrooms ... Wasted a bunch of time trying to team up with someone else. Basically what I figured , and others said would happen, did. Since then multiple local farms have got into it , and the price crapped out . Also tried for a consulting position to no avail . It was teaching organic mushrooms cultivation funded through a goverment grant ....

Most civil service postions would most likely require some formal education or related experience , no?

Anyone here in healthcare , maybe a PT/A's or MRI techs. I could maybe see myself doing that , if I could get through school .. It's been 15 years though , just a lil crusty .
