What do you do?

[Tygrkat]

Surely I can't be the only accountant on the boards here.

I'm a recovering accountant...

I *was*  the fixed assets department in corporate accounting for a mid-sized regional grocery chain. When I noticed we were selling more assets than we were acquiring or maintaining, I knew it was time to dust off my resume and find something else to do....The company eventually declared bankruptcy and was bought by another grocery chain, and I'm a hostess at a German & America Restaurant part time, and just about half-way through with my Associate's degree in Hospitality & Culinary Management...but really I just want to bake stuff & build amazing looking & delicious desserts

I am an apprentice chef currently in cooking school at college.  It has been awesome changing careers to some thing I have had a passion for all of my life but going back to school at 45 is a biiiiiiiiiig challenge.  I am looking forward to finishing my papers and finding my niche in the culinary world.  Just for kicks, I want to sell homemade pretzels at faire.
