Cooking isn't really something I'd be interested in doing as a job, though. More than 30 minutes and I'm going for fast food. I am competent, if uninspired.

Some of my IT pals make $25K, while others are making 90+K. What's your ITish range? I've found other work that would be slightly less, but could be absorbed. I thought about a couple of things. Firefighting would be a pay cut but it'd be fun. Police doesn't work; all anti-authority and all. Sometimes I want to say "fuck it" and go with something brainless. Actually, I saw an "at home" Canon tech job if you're interested. Pay isn't great, but you'd not have to go anywhere. Well, it depends on your definition of ITish salary.

Can't justify it. What should you do that isn't IT... sell cars?
