Do Chefs have it hard for nothing? Forget it being a Pion. Its not worth it!?
As a retired chef, I got out of the business because of all the unnecessary yelling and stress that goes on in kitchens all around the world. The pay is not as great as most people thing Chefs in general are paid a salery wage not hourly because a chef is in a management position. once you count all your hours and the salery pay it figures to less than $4.00 per hour. Waiters and waitresses get tips above their hourly wage not in management. I never once made minimum wage as a cook in any restaurant i worked at. but putting in all the hours as a chef i was paid less than minimum wage. I didnt mind the pay i loved what i was doing it was all the unnecessary yelling, complaints, and stress that I was tired of. I dont know why you are complaining. I love cooking and currently cater and love what i do on my terms. Writing a cook book does not make you well off either I have 4 published cook books and a very dear friend has over 15 cook books. neither of us are wealthy but still love very much what we do. You say forget about pion I say look for another job, if you dont love what you are doing, change careers.
