In fact, I'm inclined to help them shuffle off this mortal coil, if given the opportunity. <br /><br />The possibility of "Celebrity" chef never crossed my mind since I think most of those guys are pretty gay.I was just thinking of something my grandfather once told me: when you have a TRADE you are never unemployed.<br /><br />And besides, this was the only profession on the list of "recession-proof businesses" I came up with that didn't involve the possiblity of jail time or venereal diseases.<br /><br />Don't tell me your son went to Johnson and Wales, please?Matthew Notohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881509233809999186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6161738.post-47063931788680921622010-05-25T17:18:22.757-04:002010-05-25T17:18:22.757-04:00Not going to try to discourage you, Matthew, but.....Not going to try to discourage you, Matthew, but... My son is in "culinary arts," and that is what he went to school for. He is working at a really nice "bar and grill," that has offered him a kitchen management opportunity in December - he will have to move from NC to Tennessee. He is planning on doing it. However, the hours are long. The work is NOT easy. The pay is not great. Not everyone gets to be a Jamie Oliver or whoeveriscurrentlyfamous... At the same time he is working he is taking college courses to become an x-ray technician.<br /><br />The health field, Matthew. That is where hiring is still happening and there is a shortage for filling many health care positions.<br /><br />Just a thought.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.com
