My first job in middle school was washing dishes in the living room at a nursing home, after about 6 months of showing my worth, I was given the opportunity to become a part-time cook. At first I thought the other cooks were my friends, but they tried to become my adversary almost right away after I was given the job. As a teenager, this was tough; I didn’t guess who to trust in addition to it was a competition from the start. However, I persisted in addition to asked for as much advice as I could get from whomever was willing to give it to me. I started to shadow the chefs because they looked at all of the assistant cooks equally, in addition to there wasn’t any favoritism going on at the time. While cooking has given myself and others a superb means to acquire an income, it wasn’t what I was expecting. Unless you go to culinary school, it isn’t regularly straight-forward to get a job working as a real chef or head cook of a eating establishment. The problem is all of the culinary school graduates that you have to compete with for multiple job positions. That’s what led myself and others to trade school to learn the world of residential in addition to commercial HVAC. Even though trade school costs as much cash as culinary school in my area, I saw that the starting salaries for HVAC specialists was higher than what I could expect if I worked a better job in the food service industry. While my work as an HVAC specialist isn’t straight-forward by any means, the physical exertion in the living room was almost equal to what I have now. Anyone would take the higher paying job if both jobs required equal physical effort.
