 After 26 years of teaching, I retired last winter.  Went to Bartending 
School.  Was hired without alot of hassle in a catering concern here in 
Louisiana.  I love it cause I can pick and choose what gigs I want to work and 
when.  With Carnival season coming up, I will be able to work basically every 
night......and it is enjoyable.  I'm male......age 59.
