Took about 6 culinary courses at my local college at 48. One of the best decisions i've ever made. Got some small part time, fun jobs cooking and then some decent catering gigs. Ran a bowling alley kitchen for a year and was the BBQ cook for Hazel Park race track here in Detroit for 3 summers during all the big races. Not to mention the fantastic cook I turned into at home. Highly recommend if you're a foodie like myself.
I found my calling
there may be more exciting and rewarding careers, but I'm good at what I do and I like working with people from every walk of life
and business is very reliable, I'm never worried about working

You really like posting that much huh?
residual income is a wonderful thing
reading/hearing this sentiment more and more and more. The cost of making a physician/dentist in North American has gotten out of control. Most medical/dental schools require an undergrad degree. Add that monies to the cost of medical/dental school and room/board, .....$400,000 later. To specialize? add more monies. Other regions of the world eliminate the undergraduate- from high school to medical school, ex., India
' physician suicide is also flying under the radar as well. unless you are one, you don't know what we go through as far as stress. '
I sometimes feel practitioner substance abuse, suicides are seen through shamed eyes , the medical elitists. They don't go there, the white elephant in the room. Approximately 400 physicians commit suicide a year-- that's stunning
North American medical/dental faculties are factories; producing practitioners with technical skills. No emphasis on human skills. No coping skills.
copying and pasting from another forum....very sad;
'Abuse really is the right term. We advise our patients to take care of themselves, eat right, and exercise yet we rarely make time for ourselves to live. I had felt somewhat defeated by saying I burned out from Emergency Medicine, because I actually wanted to see my kids and have some hobbies without always being exhausted. The reality was that I was always pushed to see more patients, wrangle with some greedy and unethical colleagues and was told I was the problem when I tried to recommend more humane conditions for ourselves. Truthfully I have never felt better since I stopped working that insane lifestyle. I have struggled to find meaningful use (ha!) of my education and talents since. There was great satisfaction in truly helping people, but the bureaucratic quagmire was too much. Yet I never dissuade people (other than my kids) from becoming physicians. We need someone to take care of us when we're old, and somebody has to help fix this broken system'
Indeed I do. And I know that. People get born here Cambodian and Sudanese thus die I know that I need to be Thankful and you're so Right about that....I intend to do better.
With this New Year I have embraced a New Thankfulness.
For every ONE that has died by WAR I intend to send one half of one to stop War or one third of one...
whatever I can manage.....
its not like stopping pain turns the wheels of industry really well
it in fact slows those wheels so theres a hundred billion fat assholes mad as fuck.
Just give me a chance to elude them......I'm gonna toss some Bacon over here and make sounds of motherfucking Love.
Surely that will throw them off the scent.
It's also a job that what you make when you graduate is pretty much going to be what you make when you retire. Pharmacist don't have a ladder to climb, some can become a manager of the pharmacy at the local chain store or soemthing like for a bump, but for the most part they look to make 115-130,000 a year forever. Now put that in perspective of the 8 years it takes of schooling and 60-100k of debt. What other jobs do you know of that what you make when you graduate is going to be what you make when you retire? Teaching, business, etc often come with higher salaries with experience, not pharmacy.
People le think it's a piece of cake, there is much more to it like already mentioned. also 115 k is not that much In today's world
