    You might want to check job boards and find some jobs that list your skill set and knowledge as requirements or as desired. I would bet there are jobs out there where someone with a culinary arts degree would be a definite asset. See what's available by searching the various job boards and maybe food related company Web sites.

    In addition, you might find sales and marketing related jobs related to the food industry.

    Food critic, restaraunt critic, food/restaurant blogger.

    What was it that drew you to culinary arts? If it is the more decorative arts aspect, perhaps you can interview chefs, events coordinators, restaurant owners, etc. You'll speak their language, and can put it in perspective for laymen. Think behind-the-scenes - I'd be fascinated to know more about the personalities, training, interests, whys and wherefores of some of the restaurants in our area.

    Hmm, maybe I'll pursue that myself! :)
