I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this nested model working. I've tried all manner of pluralization/singular, removing the attr_accessible altogether, and who knows what else.
restaurant.rb:
# == RESTAURANT MODEL
#
# Table name: restaurants
#
#  id         :integer          not null, primary key
#  name       :string(255)
#  created_at :datetime         not null
#  updated_at :datetime         not null
#
class Restaurant < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name, :job_attributes
  has_many    :jobs
  has_many    :users, :through => :jobs
  has_many    :positions
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :jobs, :allow_destroy => true
  validates :name, presence: true
end
job.rb:    
# == JOB MODEL
#
# Table name: jobs
#
#  id            :integer          not null, primary key
#  restaurant_id :integer
#  shortname     :string(255)
#  user_id       :integer
#  created_at    :datetime         not null
#  updated_at    :datetime         not null
#
class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :restaurant_id, :shortname, :user_id
  belongs_to    :user
  belongs_to    :restaurant
  has_many      :shifts
  validates :name, presence: false
end
restaurants_controller.rb:
class RestaurantsController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :logged_in, only:  [:new_restaurant]
  def new
    @restaurant = Restaurant.new
    @user = current_user
  end
  def create
    @restaurant = Restaurant.new(params[:restaurant])
    if @restaurant.save
      flash[:success] = "Restaurant created."  
      redirect_to welcome_path
    end
  end
end
new.html.erb:
<% provide(:title, 'Restaurant') %>
  <%= form_for @restaurant do |f| %>
        <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
        <%= f.label "Restaurant Name" %>
        <%= f.text_field :name %>
        <%= f.fields_for :job do |child_f| %>
              <%= child_f.label "Nickname" %>
              <%= child_f.text_field :shortname %>
        <% end %>
        <%= f.submit "Done", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
  <% end %>
Output Parameters:
{"utf8"=>"?",
 "authenticity_token"=>"DjYvwkJeUhO06ds7bqshHsctS1M/Dth08rLlP2yQ7O0=",
 "restaurant"=>{"name"=>"The Pink Door",
 "job"=>{"shortname"=>"PD"}},
 "commit"=>"Done"}
The error i'm receiving is:
ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in RestaurantsController#create
Cant mass-assign protected attributes: job

Anyone have ANY clue how to get this to work? Thanks!
