Anyone else feel this way?

Dude Hawaii is hella crazy on rent. Can't live off 10 to 12 a month here u need two jobs. Rent in Hawaii roughly starts at 1100 for a studio and cost of living is crazy. But one great thing about being a cook you only need 1 things in your fridge. Beer. Bcuz I remember the days where I went whole months with not having to cook a single thing at home never leave work hungry bro

my exec said basically the same thing about cooking in cali at bouchon and french laundry(he worked at both places for like $9/hr).but the perks of eating tk family meals 3 times a day almost makes up for the lame pay.

Its funny here the bartender will get paid 10+/hr with tips, and is tipped out. The wait staff usually get 2.13 + tips (prob. has gone up since I last looked/cared). I laugh at the waitress that says she wishes she would get a pay check.

Life started to get good roughly after 8000 to 10000 hours in the kitchen.

OZ is my escape plan. After I pay off my debt, save for a ticket, get a sponsor, buy a visa..... Lets see $10 times........

I started doing dishes for $4.25 / hr. I knew a girl at the time making $9/hr as a secretary and thought she was rolling in it.

I wonder how the food truck biz is.

Man
It really breaks my heart, when i hear those numbers. Why dont you come over to CH? Skilled cooks are highly sought after un well payed! With all the thrills and frills you would expect (like 5 weeks payed holiday, payed illnessdays, pensionfund, payed extrahours ect...).

Benjamin Switzerland is great , last year I had a good offer, If my wife could speak little Italian or Schwabisch(not sure?) we would have moved to Locarno. Only thing with their working visas are as far as I know it has to be sponsored by the employer. Most of the chef jobs seemed seasonal and I am not sure how easy that process would be for non eu passport holders

Hi
Seasonal they may be, but theres always season in CH in winter skiing, in summer hiking....
As for the sponsored working visa: not anymore:

Still, theres the langaugeproblem..You need to speak at least one of the four languages...
