When ever people find out that although I work retail and hospitality, I hold degrees in accounting and finance as well as history and classics, they are genuinely shocked. Why would I pass up a cushy salaried office job to slog it out in the kitchen?
Because of days like today.
Days where you spend 11 hours rushed off your feet, running around like a crazy headless person. Days where people can't get enough of something that you have created from scratch with your own two hands. Days that you start with nothing more that ingredients and manage to pull together catering for 150 people, even with things going wrong.
The days where you go home, whole body aching from being so long on your feet on a concrete floor, having achieved so much.... those days make it all worth while. They satisfy the soul so much more than sitting behind a computer for eight ours ever did.
At least for me.
