Whatever you do, DON'T BECOME A DISHWASHER.
My hands and arms have had burns on them from day one, I have lost feeling in my fingers, and I'm always the last person to leave the kitchen. Either I'm being lathered up in a slurry of leftovers or I'm constantly draping my arms in boiling water.
It hurts, it doesn't pay well, but it's a job. And I should have taken that assistant aircraft mechanic position when I had the chance months ago.
