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.
It does where I am. $24 an hour plus tips for pouring drinks and chatting up pretty patrons? I can't think of a better way to spend my work day.

Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

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.

Guy like you?

Police work.  No shit.  Get the 4 year degree in something forensics-related, with a minor in "cop".

Just tell everyone you're a male prostitute, so you don't ruin your good name.

THIS.

Also; how's your business-sense? You're in a unique financial position to consider going into business for yourself...maybe a bar that serves a limited menu...perhaps upscale-but-unique bar food that you won't need to taste beyond the creation stage?

You should move to New Orleans. All the kool kids are doin it.

Get a degree/certification in IT.  Make about 50k to post on PD and surf wikipedia while on the clock, and in the 70-100 ranges, if you're willing to cut down posting time to werk MOAR.  Have you tried turning it on again and off again?

Oh wow, Hustle, that's horrible.  :sad:

I agree with Roger, that you would probably make a great cop, but I'll never be able to see you as anything but one of the best chefs around.

Holy fuck, man! That's major suckage right there. 2 questions - how the hell do you suddenly become allergic to something and doesn't medical science have some way of reversing this process?

Failing that, I'm with TGRR - you strike me as particularly cop-like.

Yeah, but not like a British Cop, because you are literate, and you have a sense of humour (albeit, a little twisted) I can see you in another 10- 15 years as a kind of "Gibbs" from NCIS. A Team leader, in a specialist Dept, maybe a Detective, with a bullet hole or two, and a couple of broken marriages. Maybe a boat in your cellar as well. But whatever you do, I think you'll probably find some sort of job that fulfills you. But yeah, WTF is that allergy thing all about then? It might be only temporary, or the Doctor might be wrong, (I'd want a second opinion myself) Good luck with it all, anyway.

Fuck ECH, that's terrible news.  Of all the food allergies out there, Celiac's is one of the worst, simply for the sheer scope of it.  You have my deepest sympathies.

As far as a new career, from what I can tell you'd be good as a director, manager, or some sort of leadership position.  TBH, it doesn't really matter what field it's in.  That would limit your ability to travel, though the pay would be what you're used to.

Use your money to buy a junker of a car and become a drifter.

That is terrible ECH.  I'm really sorry.

I have to agree with Roger.  I know detectives in Miami start at 6 figures.  The problem is the pay is directly proportioned to the amount of danger you face.  I guess you get the bigger bucks when people are trying to kill you.

Do you really want to go back to school for 4 years?  I know it sounds boring, but nurses make that kind of money, and if you get in a traveling program they will send you all over the world.  No rent, no utilities, just your personal bills, car, phone food etc....

No.  The big money is in rich, quiet towns that wish to STAY rich, quiet towns.

But that's not what ECH is for.

Bartending pays fucking fantastic, in the right town, which is here. But good luck getting that job in Portland unless you have connections.

Isn't there a coroner shortage?

:lulz:  I kind of figured that one, in addition to the problem that I only know what detectives make in Naples and Miami, FL.  Surprisingly Miami pays better, when I asked a cop who ended up taking a job in Miami the danger thing was his explanation.

So maybe a cop in ummmmm oh hell someplace like Martha's Vineyards or the Hamptons?

No, ECH needs to be a cop in Tucson, St Louis, or Big Rock.

Somewhere horrible, but not too large.
