Well, that's gonna put a fucking damper on things

Does forensics actually pay 50 k a year?

Only things I've heard of that would get you that kind of money right away with a 4 year degree are Petroleum Engineering and Economics, you'd probably have to have the right networking to get the economics money (I know my mother never made 50k with an econ degree).

You may be able to get free college since you have a medical condition that's going to end your career.  Worth looking into.

MAN,

         you could be a cop

AND/ OR

         run a successful wheat/ gluten free restaurant in P-Town!

THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER!!

1.  Police pay varies wildly by city.

2.  It's a hell of a start towards detective.

Become a motivational speaker. No degree required. :P Just the awesome force of your personality coercing people to reach into their wallets and hand over their credit cards.

OR any of the following: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_highest_paying_jobs

Be an anesthesiologist instead of a surgeon. You get to watch people taken apart without having to get your hands dirty, yourself. Or you could be a gynecologist. The key there is warm hands.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

No.  I know cops.

And ECH is 169% cop.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Yeah but then there's that whole getting shot at thing and dealing with meth heads on a regular basis and answering 911 calls from people who got cold fries at the McDonald's drive-thru.

What I said.

[Elder Iptuous]

damn, ECH.
i don't have anything to offer but condolences.  kick in the nuts, man.

[BabylonHoruv]

that's actually the very first thing I thought of.

The allergy is to wheat.

ETA: but that's not really important. This thread is about what I can do for a career change, not how I should just be some lame niche-market chef who can't use a proper roux.

Well, you can make a lot of money as a gluten free chef in a lot of places.  But if that's too lame for you never mind.

Cops don't make very good money as far as I can tell, but I can definitely see that suiting you well.

or there's always criminal.

Wow man, that's pretty heavy shit. A chef developing food allergies.
Still, good to see your can do attitude going into "Ok, so what CAN I do now?".

If you still want to work with people in hospitality, ever try giving bar tending a go?

That's about as useful as I can be at the moment, but good luck on your quest.
I'm on the search for a new job too so we're kinda in the same boat.

Because bar tending pays so well.

Become an air traffic controller. But if what happens in Breaking Bad happens we all know who's responsible.

Get a good living wage arranging Honeytrap scenarios for cheating spouses.

While you fill in time, waiting for the day when that "Crazy knock-em-dead broad" walks into your Office, in a Mink coat, smoking a foreign cigarette in a long holder, and hands you a mysterious package. Her green, kohl rimmed eyes are red, from recent tears, and her breathing seems a little too fast for the one flight of stairs leading to the street. The diamond necklace, and brooch she's wearing attest to her wealth and breeding, as she looks you straight in the eye and says in a husky, European accent that you can't quite place, "_____________________ (Fill in the rest yourself, you must know better than me how you want this to pan out, and it's your show now, . . . .)
