    I have been a kitchen porter for 17yrs worked hotels restaurants hotel is crap from jan-may hardly any work in a city or near an airport maybe ok. I have been a porter from age of 17 now 34 and lookforward to the next 30-35yrs of it. Could get better for shaw but enjoy it n its a bit of a pain changing your job compleatly. But am a bit imbarrased as its a student job as some guy said who at school says i want to b a kitchen porter true very few but i am happy it being my choosen career and actualy proud its just what others think that gets me a little

• It’s stressful working in a kitchen? Isaac Last updated by Sam: 26-Sep-2016

  I've always loved cooking and I’d like working with stoves, food and kitchen aprons. It’s very stressful? It is clear that all jobs have some degree of stress. But I have the idea that this should be too much ... What do you say?

    Restaurants and their kitchens are very stressful places. People go there and pay money to be served and give themselves a treat, and on most occasions they're very demanding. I have worked in 2 different kitchens, plenty of stress there, but you get a feel good sensation when all your plates turn out well and dinner guests walk away satisfied. personally I find it worthwhile.
