Kudos Kevin. For such obvious reasons (bartending, restaurant work) I have to change as well. I could stick to the same boring office work but that has no money in it.
I have recently started working as a Behavioral Tech/Resident Manager for a women's treatment center and it is rewarding. I also have started going back to school to get my BA. I'm so excited about the changes I'm making. It's still going to be some time to get there as I am also raising my 9 year old son at the same time but I know I'll have a wonderful and fulfilling future and am already reaping the rewards spiritually and emotionally.
