You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

I'd love to do some form of work as a cook
but knowing a couple of people who worked in kitchens - one as head chef - it sounds like a hell of a lot of hard work, and I'm inherently lazy :)

Indeedly
Hard work for a paltry wage.

However more than outweighed by the free alcohol, drugs and young waitresses.

Plus the amazing satisfaction of creating beautifully presented dishes with ingredients you'd never dream of using at home.

It's certainly crossed my mind
but the last thing I need at the moment is MORE drugs and alcohol :)

I could definitely do with a young waitress or two, though.

I worked as a cook through college.
It is a lot of hard work, a lot of hard drugs (taken by people with realy sharp knives), very wierd hours, and not much money. You do not see a lot of old chefs.

That said, I did have a lot of fun and it helped me pay for college. Unfortunately, I now have to do all the cooking at home (and the places I worked at never seemed to have any young waitresses).
