    I have a few friends in the industry. If you are talking about cooking, my opinion of it is mostly negative. Sure, there are many good chefs, but unfortunately, the job is a magnet for people that really wanted to do something else with their life and failed. Those same people are often drug addicts, alcoholics, or just not great people. So, you work with alot of problematic and troubled people. Coworkers being out for prison sentences is common. The pay is not great because there are soooo many people doing it.

    Sure, you could find a job at the nicest restaurant in town and avoid some of that, but think about how many of those restaurants there are in your town - compared to how many people in the world think they can cook. It’s like winning the lottery to get that job.

      Damn this reads like it was written by the parent of a 17 year old host that got fired 😂

      You need to go out more if you think kitchen staff are such lowly pieces of shit lol.

      Good chance your lawyer is addicted to xans. Doctors get friends to write them scripts for narcotics all the time. Cops are notorious alcoholics.

      Rehabs are full of white collar druggies. They’re just more palatable to people who like to clutch their pearls
