I assume one becomes a chef because they have a love for cooking and food and the artistry involved, but I can’t think of anything more eroding to that love of the craft than the kind of working day I see chefs and other kitchen staff go through. It seems to an outsider like me that it’s basically a shift-length panic attack, every day. But that can’t be the case, or no one would do the job!
Bwahahahahahahaahahahahzhahahhahah
Deep breath… no seriously
Hahahahahahahahah
One becomes a chef because you need a pay check. All that shit about the artistry of cooking is marketing bullshit.
You work because you need a pay check. However, there are thousands of professions out there. All of them give pay checks. If you’re a chef it’s because you chose chef out of the thousand options.
So there might be something about it that made you choose it. Some might have chosen it because it was the least worst paying option available for them. Others might choose it because it makes it easier to get laid. Some (as the post suggests) might choose it for the love of the art.
The post is asking if there are some that choose it for the working environment.
People go to school for it because it’s what they want to do with their lives. It’s not like most chefs are wealthy.
