Need to change career, but how?

Now, I want to find something else, but don't know how, I have to work to pay my loan of but I don't know how to do anything else, I would rather have a boring job then a sressful one like a restaurant businessNeed to change career, but how?
Have you considered catering? Or Hospitality? If you are a chef, you are well qualified to run a hotel or hospital kitchen or coordinate catering for large groups (convention center or wedding consultant...)Need to change career, but how?
Research on the internet, talk to friends, etc... the stuff you didn't do before you chose a career you don't like. Some new careers wont require specific training, other's will.. just do what you need to do.
Good question, and a tough one to answer. It sounds like you have great skills in cooking. Is there something still in cooking, out of restaurants, that you can do? Like catering? Try working for a catering company, for a baker, for a company that supplies food/items or services to restaurants. You understand the business so try to take advantage of those skills and knowledge.



Switching to a different career is hard and you will most likely start at the bottom. Find something that interests you.



Remember, all jobs are stressful, there are always bad parts, bad people and bad things at each job... It's all a matter of what you can put with for the pay.



Go to the book store and find some books on changing careers, new career ideas, the hottest jobs etc. Find some inspiration and head off in a new direction (or at least a modified version of what you are doing now).



Good luck!

I know it may not be an attractive option, but you can always go back to school and put your loans into deferment.



Also consider other jobs you could do with your education and knowledge. Could you teach consumer sciences or culinary ensemble at a junior high or high school? Could you help in menu planning at a school district, or be the hottest lunch lady around? See if the local Meals-on-Wheels program for senior citizens needs help in preparing meals. Grocery store deli attendant?



Those are just a few options. Also, I had no previous experience, but I got into insurance. You can consider telemarketing for a little while, which is not fun and can be stressful, but it is a change.
