Dream jobs (12)
Morning kid...
When I lived in Gibsons, I noticed that alot of the kitchens (restaurants and such) had seriously filthy canopys and fryers. The stink was sometimes more than you could bear. So I started looking into opening a busniess that would deal with the cleaning and degreasing of fans, filters, air ducts, fryers, and anything else associated with the cooking of grease. I even spoke to the woman that owned the local fish market, and since they sold a great deal of fish and chips and such, she agreed to allow me to go in and clean her place. The next day I recieved several compliments for the job I had done, and even got compliments from the surrounding businesses saying the air didn't stink first thing in the mornings after that. I thought I found a little gold mine, so I decided to give it a try, but I just couldn't find anyone that wanted their places done. They seem to have loved what I did for the fish market, just not enough for me to do their place as well..oh well, I tried

I know exactly what ur talking about....I hated cleaning those filters and such when I worked at MickyD's
Too bad it didn't work out.
Ever think of working on web pages or such? your projects are really great.I'm sure you could get some work from small businesses to start.

if you're referring to my "computer doodles" I do that only as a hobby, as for computers, I have worked on them (building, repairs, upgrades..etc) for nearly 15 years, but again, as a hobby..I work in a kitchen..keeper of the local tomain, and I love my job, but the computers are hobby only
well now, it's about time you are on to a different thing...turn the hobby into your amoney making business
Naw.. I like my computer doodles, but I love cooking..I spend just as much time in the kitchen at home, as I do at work
Catering? 
Trust me hon, the LAST thing you'd ever want, would be for me barrelling down the street in a truck full of hot food.. you know someones driving skills need improvement, when they try to start a car by saying.. To start press any key..where's the anykey ?
You cook, and hire a driver lol
Just remind to never loan u my car.
I have been my own boss in the past... with 2 start up companies. As a single mother when my children were young, the risk became to great to ride the waves of feast or famine.
Now that my children are older, I am once again embarking on my own, starting a new contract at the beginning of September. I love what I do today and am really excited about the opportunity I am moving to shortly.
Ultimately, I would like to join an aid organization and provide project/program/portfolio management skills in recovering from world disasters such as the tsunamis. During that particular event, there was a call from almost every aid organization to coordinate everything from food collection and distribution to the re-establishment of telecommunications... I would imagine the same was needed after Katrina. My shortfall? I don't have international experience. I'm hoping that I will find my way to that end someday.

If you could be your own boss,what kind of business would you open and why?
I'd love to have (this is a mouthful)
A farm with a few animals,chickens,goats,horses,that would also be a B AND B. All the while having my little print shop set up in a corner of the house where I'd continue proof reading and graphic arts.
Think it would keep me busy?
I like working from home,love animals and having a couple of guest rooms would be fun,always get to meet new people.
