Is a bit of a crappy industry to get into, low pay for long crappy hours and to be a head chef you need to be a bit of an a-hole so you end up working for many big a-holes.
Spooky. My 15-year-old son likes cooking and is taking a Foods course at school. When I asked him if he's interested in it as a career, that's almost word for word what he said. He no doubt got that bit of wisdom from his Foods instructor, who is a former chef at the Banff Springs and had his own cable TV cooking program for a while.
