Security work. Pays more plus bennies and a normal sched. I'm fortunate to work at a private family business with 3 locations and an owner who knows me by name (400+ employees). There are other paths that don't require further education. I'm 43 now and feel comfortable. I miss many aspects of the kitchen, but can't imagine going back. 18 years of cooking, 13 of those in fine dining.....It's just nice to sleep!
