I’ve daydreamed a bit about getting a part-time job as well. The server position at a nice restaurant sounds the nicest to me. Though I don’t eat at fine dining establishments that much, it’d be cool to be around the nice environment.

I’d like the social interaction aspect of it, although it could be rough dealing with rude customers.

Although it’s not as flexible, working on a cruise ship sounds nice too!

Hello Ryan, I too left my job. I worked for the state of CA and the pay was deminishing. I don’t drink myself, but daughters fiance’ paid his was through college at CSUS bartending – so I know the money is there.
I am working at my business, promoting my product and hoping that the future will be brighter than today! I am certain that it will be.
Keep working toward your goals. Have you written them down? I am sure that you will do well in life! Thanks for sharing….

Bartending to meet chicks for sure!

What about starting a male escort service? Seriously, there are a lot of very wealthy and lonely women in Hawaii. Could be huge!

Koodos to you for ditching the 9-5!
Not sure if you’re hooked up, but if you’re looking to meet people (aka potential significant other- Nicholas Cage did it, so can you!), maybe being a server is a good idea! Besides, you can “work your way up” to work at the higher-end restaurants were serving is a real career and they make good $.

Bartending sounds fun too! You get to see people all drunk and having a good time, people are fighting for you attention to be served, and you can be creative! Plus you can meet people as well (albeit when they are full of alcohol and likely noncoherent, but nonetheless you meet people).

Hi Ryan,

Hmmm, I think number 3 works out well All three are great ways to earn some coin. I would have been a bartender but the hours are just too late for me. If you go the pizza route shoot me an email can I can give you some pointers. It is great money and I LOVE THE JOB.

Good luck!!!

Here’s hoping the job search is going well. I named my piano Humphrey because my mother’s favorite movie is Casablanca, so “As Time Goes By” is the first piano song I can ever remember hearing. Plus, it’s an antique from the ’40s, anyway. Good luck on finding something you can do!

Hi Ryan, sorry I haven’t checked in sooner. Congrats on ditching the 9 to 5, I’m sure there are a lot of envious people out there.

Considering your background and ambitions I think bartending would work great for you, although anything that allows you to network in the Waikiki area would be a plus. Plus who knows how much in tips you actually make

Don’t limit yourself to things you’ve done in the past and familiar jobs, you could also do tutoring, fitness training, web design, etc. You’re only limited by your imagination.

Here’s one that might be way out in left field: what would you think about joining the Hawaii Air National Guard? I was on a joint deployment with those guys for a few weeks and back then they had C-130′s. Since you have your degree you could go enlisted or officer, and depending on your background and skills you could even apply for a pilot slot (high demand low supply though, lots of competition). I have friends who were professional “Guard Bums” who would go on deployments for 6 or more months out of the year and then take the rest of the time off. Of course some of them weren’t guard bums by choice, but they still got to see the world on Uncle Sam’s dime.

Anyway, good luck with the job hunt.
