i did and worked for few days. from the first day i wasnt even cooking---i was already cutting potatoes wedges for 8 hours, peeling kiwi fruit , cleaning restaurant windows and stoves. the second day samething and so on and so on till i quit.
It's called earning your keep. You think just cuz you got the job you're entitled to go right to the top and actually do the job? Welcome to the real world my friend. I just had to do labour work for over a year before they let me touch the controls of a plane at my job... And I already have the licenses to prove I can operate the things.

Yes. You're going to be doing manual labour work, that's what being a fabricator is. I would ask on the first day if there's any possibility of them paying for your schooling... But that wouldn't be for a year or two of you working for them.

Fucking millennials
