One of my new year's resolutions is to make a solid plan for a "retirement career," something that doesn't require a 4-year degree upfront that I could do at least until I'm middle-aged. Right now I still just have an eighth-grade education, and the only well-paying jobs I'm qualified for are dancing and bartending. I have enough practical experience doing hair and makeup that I think a semester or two at "beauty college" plus a few well-placed references should be enough to land a job doing hair and/or makeup for movies (I live in New Orleans, where lots of movies are shot). I'm also seriously considering an apprenticeship to be an electrician or a carpenter.
What are y'all's retirement/second/third/etc career plans? I really don't want to be a manager at a Bourbon St. club when I'm forty-five . . .

Houses cost more here anyway! LOL Ill definitely stay dancing until at least 1 year after I graduate and may even moonlight from time to time. I think its a good motivator to stay healthy and in shape and I don't mind being an older dancer cause I plan on staying hot and sexy for a long long time.
