As someone just (temporarialy) getting out of the industry...

Please, go stage somewhere first before giving up your life for a job in it. It is very much not the job for everyone.

Can you handle (assuming you are female) sexual assault from your coworkers every day? Grabass is a kitchen pasttime. It's lots and lots of inappropriate jokes. Can you handle getting slammed with 40 orders all at once because the host was an idiot, and not being able to even step away from a 120+ degree station because there are 20 minute tickets up in the window, and there's all kinds of waitresses wondering what the wait is? Can you handle being on your feet for 8-10 hours a day? Can you handle not having a social life, as the hours you'll be working are the hours all your friends with office jobs are going to be doing things like...well, going out to eat? Can you handle getting paid a laughably small sum and 50+ hour weeks?

It is quite possibly the most fun profession there is, but it is incredibly physically and mentally taxing. If you're the sort of person that likes a challenge, and really does like to buckle down and work as hard as possible and who gets off on a job that will beat the shit out of you, it is the most rewarding thing on the planet, and i'm going to miss it like hell. It's just there's nothing hiring in my area in the industry outside of fast food.

It is the best job ever, if you've got the right sort of personality for it. If the above sounds like fun, then definitely go for it! Just be aware that it is nothing like what Food Network/Hells Kitchen/Kitchen Nightmares make it out to be.
