Career Decisions..

My Beverage director is holding some wine classes. During conversation he made the statement that about ten hours away you can take the tests for Sommelier. It's something I've thought about for awhile off and on. I suppose my reasoning for not pursuing it has been financial, not enough money to consider it. Or that I simply move on and away from wherever I'm at to consider committing to any kind of new education.

But, here I am. Trying my hand at being stationary and suddenly I want to pursue something new. Need a challenge, any challenge. And, what was intimidating and seemed a bit out of my reach a few years ago suddenly seems like something to pursue.

This could be impossible to achieve, and I may be stretching a bit. But, the boost to my resume would be pretty exceptional job opportunities would open up... the possibilities would be endless. To do or not to do? I'll be talking to the Beverage Director next week, he seems to think that the company that I work for would be willing to kick in some bucks. But, that's not really the point.

I'm bored. Would like a new project a goal, something to work on. I don't foresee myself leaving this business anytime soon. I do see myself getting burnt out of waiting tables at some point. I sure as hell don't care to be a manager or move into the BOH. And I can't think of anything I like as much as I like wine. Perfect fit? Or is this twenty-seven year old waitress over-reaching? What say you my internet FOH crew.. All opinions welcome with open arms. Just as long as you don't say White Zinfadel at any time.
