The legend of ECH notwithstanding, I'm considering being a cook in Norway now.

working as a cook/chef sounds so horribly horrible in us, you have my condolences. if moving to norway ever becomes a topic we need cooks/chefs in oslo and if you know one who can start next wednesday on the outdoor grill, all prep is done in the morning, service from 12 to 18/20ish depending on crowd/weather and get paid for 12 to 20 every day anyhow please send him my way

ps two cold three hot dishes



e ok fry cook was something else in my mind hi nevermind me

e2 ok actually tried to get a job flipping burgers when i was like 24 or something and desperate and both mcdonalds and burger king said i was too old and later on someone told me they dont hire anyone but management over 20 so i guess thats how you do it here

In a lot of ways, working in general is terrible here.

In many ways it just got rebranded.

I know quite a few cooks here, and it is gruelling work. Long hours, irregular schedules, and horrible bosses. The mandatory weekends tends to cut into your social life as well, especially if you have friends with regular jobs.

On the other hand it is a career that you can put some creativity in and hard work is very much rewarded, so personal fulfillment is practically guaranteed.
On top of that it pays very well and you get to play with knifes and fire.
Your food expenses drop precipitously as well and that is not something to dismiss out of hand. For example: Food is about 1/4 of my monthly expenses, and I make about 20% more than minimum wage. (To be honest, I could spend less on food if I wanted to.)

QG, I'm sure there's big words here if mangled a bit. "You've not abolished slavery, you just rebranded it"?

Not sure on that but there's something there for sure.
