Title: Dilemma Post by: Nils on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 22:56:06 Tonight I at work I was offered the position to become an apprentice chef. It is a very tempting offer. Working there is not work cos it is such a fucking laugh. I think I would enjoy working there, but there is a lad who is there who gets a huge bollocking everyday but that is cos he is unreliable.
On the other hand I am reliable and I am quite a good cook anyway. It is £4.35/ hr (although my pay is reviewed next month). College is ok but not brilliant. But I don't want to ruin my chances of being a minister. What should I do? Title: Dilemma Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 22:58:49 Stick with college. My cousin has worked as a chef and hates it. Did a few 80 hour weeks as well
Title: Dilemma Post by: yeo on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 23:05:20 I agree cheffing sounds like a complete bastard until your top of the game.
Its something that you need a real passion for and as you ulimatly want to do something else id say dont bother. Title: Dilemma Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 23:08:34 I think the problem is that even if that job is ace, you won't be there forever
Title: Dilemma Post by: Nils on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 23:09:57 Yea but I could stay there for 5 years and the become a minister.

Title: Dilemma Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, November 16, 2005, 00:18:45 stick with college.
(i haven't been to any lessons this week) Title: Dilemma Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, November 16, 2005, 02:05:28 College, cheffing can be a fucking riot, I did a bit when I was at college the first time round doing a HND but it's a hiding to nothing unless you're qualified and as Yeovil said at the top of your game.
Every chef I know detests the hours and pay if you're serious then get them to pay for a good training course at college a couple of days a week. |
