There's a few things to keep in mind before trying to enter into a kitchen. First off, you'll probably start as a dishwasher and there are definately two distinct sides to that coin. You'll need to be both good at following orders and able to speak loudly, as the kitchen can become a dangerous and loud place. You will need to help out with anything requested of you, dropping whatever you're working on if something is needed sooner. If you don't speak up in a busy kitchen however, people can sometimes get hurt. There are hot things and sharp things and even easily breakable things all around you and safety requires some attention. You will work later than anyone else as a dishwasher, as there is some lag time for things to get to your end. You will work as hard as the chefs do (And don't underestimate the ammount of walking you'll be doing) however you won't be compensated as well. Resturaunt pay can cover a wide range so you never know how that will come out, and the hours are long, though if you like ending the day feeling like you've worked hard, this is a good job for you.

Being a dishwasher isn't a career. It's a low pay, dirty, hard job. I don't recommend it. The only reason I'm working as a resturant dishwasher is because I was laid off, and my unemployement was about to run out and this was the first job I took. I am looking elsewhere for work as fast as I can. I have three job intervews after thanksgiving, and I hope I get one of the jobs. Being a dishwasher is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. But it's a job and it's paying my bills right now.

"It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it."

Dishwashing has been my career for the past 19 years, and people ask me questions about my perseverance all the time: "How can you stand such monotonous work? Don't you ever get bored?"

The answer, quite briefly, is "No, not ever."

The secret of my longevity in this line of work is finding a comfortable rhythm and routine. When that happens, dish washing becomes second-nature; no thought required. When a person reaches that stage, the mind is free to wander and dream, the ears are (barring other immediate obligations) free to listen to music or language tapes, the mouth free to practice! Were it not for my choice of career, I probably would not have found the time to learn Italian.

Standing for long lengths of time was difficult when I first started, so I bought a comfortable barstool (with the owner's permission) which helped tremendously.

I would recommend this career to the person who values their inner space, and likes solitude, generally. You don't need to have good people skills to wash dishes well, so people with social anxiety tolerate it quite well. The pay is not great, but the work is not difficult--it all evens out in the end.
