Learn to cook well while young, you will never regret it 🫂🤙
Discussion
Congrats btw 🙏
Thank you, it is literally the most important task I have ever completed. It pays me dividends every day 💪💜🤙
Just don't get a job cooking because you'll likely regret it.
how so?
Working in restaurant kitchens is a hellish firestorm of a job. It's hot, knives everywhere, and it is hectic and stressful. Don't recommend 😂
I've been cooking since the mid 90s.
I've never made over 35k / year even as manager.
Meanwhile I have friends that over 150k (I'm happy for them and only blame myself for my $ issues)
The pros of cooking are that you'll never go hungry and you'll be able to keep your head above water.
The cons are that you'll likely ruin relationships, work 50+ hours a week, never have weekends or holidays off and will be eternally stressed out.
Alcoholism and drug use among cooks is rampant.
I believe that cooking is a skill that everyone should learn and can save you thousands of dollars over your lifetime. Yet it's a thankless (and addictive) job.
i’ve always wanted to work as a chef, or atleast complete a course in it.
probably the best skill you could have, and i’d say one of the sexiest 👀
You don't need a degree. Just a willingness to learn. And a sense of urgency.
Almost all "chefs" that I've worked with weren't worth the pot to piss in.
might consider it actually 👀🤔
You also need thick skin.
Watch "the Bear" and "Waiting".
I do not recommend you work in a kitchen for vert long. It's not a good career path. I do recommend it if you have a plan to get the f out as soon as you've learned what you need.
Oh perfect, I like cooking shows 💜
Yeah, I’d just love to learn some strong fundamentals and gtfo
Here's what I served today for lunch
oh damn, looks really nice 💜 how’s the work been to you as of late?
I'm an old man doing a young man's job. I'm burned out. I have a masochistic love hate relationship with the restaurant biz
anything you’d like to do instead at this point? 🤔
Right now all I need to do is sell my property in CA. My bills here in MO are less than 1k / month. So I can put up with a couple of days a week.
I'd love to crack the work from home thing. I just haven't figured out out yet
You could potentially startd doing some cooking videos from home, I’d love to watch them 💜 Maybe some cooking courses also
Look at my website, that's what I'd really like to do, homesteading.
maybe nostr:npub1g3827ewz6d23rlgdhkaslc78gyule52ymcqdyt2hsxdwtlw8dt5q7dfpvg could help you out with that 💜
