Places for restaurant managers to go after leaving the industry.

Findapath-Career Change

I’ve (26M) have been working as a manager for one of the busiest restaurants in my city for the last four years. I am becoming incredibly burnt out, and want to get into a new industry. I bust my ass week after week, working incredibly long hours(for reference, two weeks ago I worked 8 days in a row for a total of 77 hours) I would really love to find somewhere where I can work a 9-5 M-F. I want to have my evenings back, and I want more time to see the people I love. I’m tired of Monday and Tuesdays being my only days off, if I’m lucky.

Unfortunately, college isn’t currently in the cards for me. I’m looking for entry level positions that would give me more opportunities for growth, and personal time. I’m sure a few of you have found yourselves in similar positions. I just feel lost, I don’t really a dream job or know of anything that sounds enticing. I do know that I am personable, I’m incredibly hard worker, and I can learn to do just about anything. I would greatly appreciate any advice.
