Where would you work in the mean time?

Let's say you're taking a break from graphic design, what jobs would you take in the mean time?

This is going to sound a little bit left of field, but I've been working in retail since December... initially it totally freaked me out but I'm loving it now. You're still using your personality, your confidence, your ability to sell a person/client on an idea... next thing I knew I was up-selling too. It's totally social, every customer is different, it's challenging and nice to be off the computer too.

You'll soon get sick of it and come running back to design work.

I doubt that very much Dan. Design work for myself (my own projects) sure, but never again for others.

@chickyboo I meant something you could drop into casually... personally I couldn't just take up industrial or architectural design
