A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Shows like Master Chef and Hell's Kitchen are designed to glamorize low-paying, labor intensive restaurant jobs and recruit people into the field. (lemm.ee)

I'm often mad lucky and live in an area that I could probably do something similar but to be honest post covid many places pay different.

I work with two guys who like to brag about working in michelin star places, neither of them were paid more than 14.

Today hiring rate is probably 18 and as a Sous chef I make 22. Not amazing but compared to what it was like only a few years ago drastically different.

Still industry sucks and is predatory. Probably can't do it long term.
