    I’ve heard “you love cooking? You should open a restaurant!” so many times and it’s such a horrible cliché!

    Even if customers weren’t assholes, it would still suck. There’s no better way to kill your enjoyment of something than to do it for money!

      Hospitality is both a satisfying and dreadful job at the same time. It doesn’t pay enough for what the work is. But the fundamental work is satisfying. The only chefs I’ve known who really enjoyed their jobs were private chefs for individual rich families. Both were well paid and had a lot of creative freedom.
