Considering a career as a chef or elsewhere in the restaurant industry?
StarChefs.com has released the results of its
annual salary survey of
restaurant industry professionals. Executive chefs, perhaps unsurprisingly,
make more money than most in
the industry, though they also work the longest hours. The results may be skewed by the fact that some chefs make
dramatically more than others, pulling up the average. Salaries also vary by
region, with pastry chefs in
Las Vegas making over 30% more than their colleagues in California and Florida.
Age,
job satisfaction and both
ethnicity and gender were
also taken into account in parts of the survey, so the results are a good starting point to learn about potential
careers and where to start them.
