Why Do Female Chefs Get Overlooked?

4. I isn't as much the schools as the commercial kitchens

the schools often require students to work while in school as part of the training. As with a lot of jobs, if a kitchen has a good employee, more and more of that employee is demanded. On the up side, apprenticeships in cooking are usually at least paid..but the workload of school combined with the demands of a job are overwhelming at times. My son works 45 hours in a restaurant and around 30 at school each week. As for how it became so abusive, it has a couple of centuries of history making it what it is today..A serious commitment and a passion for the work is what drives most who are successful in cooking..
