jobs won't come around if you burn the quiche without a backup...

lol as generations of housewives learned to avoid!

I'd love to open a restaurant myself... specifically, a tapas bar and grille... never gonna happen... I'm a total fraidy-cat... so many restaurants fail.

First I will tell you a little about my situation. I am 30 yrs old, married with 2 kids ages 1 and 3. I have been working in a factory for about 10 years now doing a job that I hate but I have stayed there because of the great pay, benefits and time off. Before I took this job I was a Chef. I enjoyed the work but not the hours and the pay was terrible. Well now the company I am working for is downsizing and offering Rating: 5

I cooked all my life and I like it but,,, I can still burn something cause I seem to lose focus and focus on something else...

great to hear from you! Actually I talk to her all the time about it. She is very concerned with money, she's pretty materialistic (don't tell her I said that).
So if it was up to her I would be in the factory for 20 more yrs.

yikes.....

i guess ya better find something that cant fail, huh? nothing like pressure in these situations....

you should sit down and make a list of what you like and what you dont and why you would or wouldnt choose that..am i making sense? lists always help, at least for me...

a years salary isnt much to start with, for any career change...

unfortuantely we sometimes have to scarafice our dreams for our families in the name of practicality...bleh

Aw shit Vapordaddy, sounds like you've got a big project ahead of you, and there's a long talk with your wife that you need to have.
Look at this as an opportunity to not only change your career for the better, but to also bring more communication to your marriage.
Another thing I would look into is cooking at a college or private boarding-school... the food services there don't keep late restaurant hours... benefits are often very good... opportunities to network with caterers abound...????
