has anyone hear had to change careers after cooking for years I have developed carpel tunnel in my wrist from years of chopping and prepping and I don't think I can hold out much longer before it starts to get worse I don't have experience in any other jobs and don't have money to go to collage or university and I really don't know what to do

pretty much everyone who works at the kitchen I work at has had hand surgeries or have aching wrists.

there is no escape from this career and it's maladies except death

>> No.4631051

Have you considered moving to a less physically demanding field within the restaurant industry? I think that would be easiest on you, and you would have references within the industry to vouch for you. Are you interested in being a sales rep? management/host?

well the problem lies with the fact I'm covered in tattoos so I don't think working front of house will work that well but i should try and look into being a sales rep

Invest in some long sleeved shirts. Looks professional too.

It's almost as if getting prominent and offensive tattoos was a poor decision.

had a good lol

As long as you don't have to handle the food with your bare hands, you can use makeup to cover it up. Ask the salespeople at the cosmetics counter, they'll be able to help.

Well sure, but I don't have to carry around my Philosophy degree. More seriously, the tats shouldn't be a problem for most blue collar work. I work at a factory with lots of guys(and gals) with them.

No, I spent my youth on a computer in the basement. No regrets over missing out on stupid decisions or mistakes.

get that shit lasered off, it will cost about 100$ per square inch but it will be gone for good

or you can man up and get a bottle of whiskey and a wire brush and remove them
