A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Shows like Master Chef and Hell's Kitchen are designed to glamorize low-paying, labor intensive restaurant jobs and recruit people into the field. (lemm.ee)

I'm often mad lucky and live in an area that I could probably do something similar but to be honest post covid many places pay different.

I work with two guys who like to brag about working in michelin star places, neither of them were paid more than 14.

Today hiring rate is probably 18 and as a Sous chef I make 22. Not amazing but compared to what it was like only a few years ago drastically different.

Still industry sucks and is predatory. Probably can't do it long term.
