| I'm looking for some inspiration for my fiance as far as a job goes. He has no idea what he wants to do for a career. Right now, he's been working as a dishwasher / prep cook (for a few years now) and absolutely hates it! Gaming is his biggest hobby, he can't stand math or repetitive, boring jobs. He has a High School diploma, but no college degree.
Any ideas for something he should look for? We were thinking about tech support, customer service, or something along those lines, as he's the friendliest person I know and has amazing social skills. Is getting a job like this hard to get for someone without a college degree or much experience though?
Something that makes good money as well, of course. We've both been working in random "just-above-minimum-wage" jobs, so we don't really know what to look for, what's hard to get/not hard to get, etcetera. So any help, ideas or advice would be much appreciated.
If it's relevant at all, we're going to be living in the San Francisco Bay Area in California (around the area of Sunnyvale).
Also, he's looking for something more than being a waiter and whatnot. Every job he's had has been in a restaurant - he wants to go for something completely different, and something that's more of a career, rather than just a job. =)

| I've got about 3 years experience (prep cook, dishwasher, bus boy, and finally server) in the service industry. I tried getting a job at nightclubs here, but not only do they all require a few months as a busser/"clean up" before you can be a barback, but most Orlando clubs pale in comparison to Fort Lauderdale. So, because I really want to go back to UCF, I'm willing to bypass my hatred of serving food.
The thing is, I want to only serve food at the bar.
I know that most restaurants don't have barbacks, they just train bartenders if they're unexperienced. That's how a lot of my friends became bartenders. I just don't want to be in a too kid friendly place, something like Alehouse or a Sports Bar.
So for all my non-Orlando residents, where would you say are the best large chain restaurants to get a bar position at? What's required to get to the bar position once hired?
And for all the Orlando residents, where would you guys say is the best bar/rest to work?

 | The kitchen is about 110 degrees and not a second goes buy when your not working. I wash dishes, cook, and prep cook. Lots of physical activity, constantly on your feet and constantly moving, runing, lifting etc. Considering the temperature and that I sweat more than the normal guy, i'm constantly dripping in sweat. (yeah I wouldn't eat there either) How many calories do you think I burn an hour? It has to be one of the most physically demanding jobs/things i've ever done.

 | I'm looking around for a job in a restaurant kitchen. I have very light experience preping fruits and vegetables from my current job as well as experience baking but nothing at a restaurant level. If i wanted to land a job as a pantry or prep cook with no experience how would I start off? Should I apply at a dishwasher and hope to move up?
