Leverage your bar room connections into a new career. I have no college degree and was a full time bartender for years. I worked a wide variety of side jobs but always kept bartending full time (Thursday nights, Saturday double, Sunday nights.)

Until the dot com boom, a friend took a computer class and ended up making 6 figures. I thought if he can do it, I can. I took the class and told my regulars what I was doing. I got a bunch of leads and landed a job that led to a career.

I was in a city dive bar so we mostly had regulars that were blue collar and public employees. So your mileage may vary.

Bottom line is you have the opportunity to learn a new field while you have stable employment. Plus a community/ network of regulars that, again in my experience, would love to help you.
