[Don’t most chefs make under $60,000 unless their the head chef?]
It’s the sh*ttiest lifestyle too.
Long hours, barely a day off, forget about having holidays off. And yeah, unless you’re the head chef, you’re basically a peon in the kitchen, one step up above the dishwasher.
I LOVE to cook, but no way in hell would I ever want to do it as a career.
Holidays off? Holidays are when people are MOST likely to want to eat out. Expect to put in overtime on holidays.
