Last year I quit cooking after nearly 15 years and got a job at a semiconductor factory. I was making more money on day one and the work is soooo much better. Went from having no breaks to 1.8 hours of break time. No vacation to 5 weeks PTO. I never have to stay past my scheduled time out.

I'll never go back.

I think that more shows how crap it is to work in catering. Especially when chefs in popular Michellin star reseraunts make the same, sometimes less to work in such reseraunts.
