Being a serviceman is a huge plus when looking for a job.

EMS is thrilling and rewarding, but it's physically damaging and probably pays less than the max you could make as a cook.

Phlebotamy is not bad, but it doesn't pay much more than being a cook. I'd say there's no harm in it, but it's not very ambitious. It must be relatively stress-free.

Note: you can be a different kind of medical tech and be more irreplaceable, and make more money. You could also be a nurse, and they make bank.

Pharmacy tech is not a bad choice. It's probably a good choice for someone who wants to settle into a secure and fair paying job for a long time.

Construction? You could probably get paid more doing electric or plumbing, but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

You can be literally anything you want.

I just saw you were making minimum wage as a cook. You can make more, at least in my state. Still, I think looking for a new career path is a great idea for you.

I am making $10/hr as a cook. $350 bucks a week to work second shift and mop up grease until 3 AM is pretty depressing.

Not looking for a career right now just something I can be doing within a month or two for short term income. When I return to school it will be to finish my BS/higher ed.

Depends what you're after. I spent $2000 on a qualification to teach English as a foreign language, currently cruising around Asia and having a great time.

Most places pay food and rent, so you'll find yourself banking whatever you earn if you're clever.

relocation isn't an option for the time being.

Good for you man.

You could probably wait tables and make a decent chunk, have you considered that? Is it something you could swap over to now where you work?

You could also write papers for lazy students online and make a few extra bucks, there are a few sites out there with those kinds of services. :x

Yeah definitely considered it but generally try to avoid shitheads as much as possible. The money would be better though.

Gotta think, it's only temporary until you get back into school and you won't have to deal with a fuckload of change like you would seeking employment somewhere else.

That's what I'd do, desu. Easy moola. When people talk you up, just let them know you're a vet trying working your way through school. Tips tips tips.

Also Welders make good money. Something to look into as well. Never hurts to pick up a good skill that pays well.
