It depends on the person.

Some people just want/need to be out of fine dining for(ever) a little while. I've taken off from a couple great fine dining jobs with the intentions of finding a less demanding restaurant job. It's strange being asked "are you sure you want this position?" or "why are you applying here when you could...?" I've done this before for a couple reasons, and both are for comfort.

1. It's nice to take a job knowing that nobody knows as much as you. They may know THAT restaurant better than you, but they don't know the different grades of Wagyu steak or how to prepare it Mi-Cuit. Chances are that nobody knows what a Txakolina is, nor can they even begin to name something as easy as the First Growths of Bordeaux. You have a confidence level that is hard to touch, and having confidence + knowledge is important for working in a restaurant.

2. Probably most importantl: If the money is good, why not? If a decent restaurant opens down the block, and you're currently commuting to your job, maybe making a little less money while dealing with less stress would appeal to you.

Some people just can't handle the stress of fine dining, and they naturally go back to something a little easier. This doesn't mean that fine dining is necessarily always a higher stressed environment (ALL restaurants have varying degrees of stress that usually start at "insufferable" and go up to "homicidal"), but fine dining requires a higher caliber of worker. You have to bring your A-game everyday whether you're sick, hungover or coping with a bad breakup. Going back to something casual can be a relief.

In fine dining, the expectations are as high as the bills we drop. You're expected to work 10+ hours AND study at home. You're fighting together for a Michelin Star(s). This is the game; the players are very wealthy/important; nothing can be off.

Working in restaurants is also different than other fields because it's pretty uncommon for someone to stick around much longer than 2-3 years. Some people stick it out for a year just so it doesn't look bad on their resume, even though they "checked out" months ago. Yes, there are definitely people who stay with their company a long time, but by the percentages, this is rare.

Also, leaving/finding a job isn't out of the ordinary, because we all sort of know each other. We drink/eat together, and it's common to be "poached" from another restaurant/bar. If I can consistently make $225/night slanging steaks to tourists from the same menu the restaurant had 20 years ago vs. $250/night keeping up with the nightly changes chef made, what country our Yellowfin tuna comes from, what silverware to place with that dish, which wine to pair with it plus where that wine comes from, what's the grape and which glass it's it served in... Sometimes it's just not worth the stress. (And sometimes that dish is off the menu the next day! A!)

Is it worth it? Absolutely! It's incredible to be part of a team in an amazing restaurant. You learn a lot and make great money. And when you leave, you (usually) start to miss it... We see food people have never heard of, and they probably can't pronounce. Our knowledge of wine, spirits and beer (even coffee and tea!) could probably get us a job teaching! Our tolerance for stress (mental & physical) is on a whole different level. But, I'm sure like with any profession, you have to balance your life with your work.

Leaving fine dining isn't really a "step back", but usually just a step in the right direction. Whether you can handle it or not is one thing, but whether you want to handle it is another.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream

Read the excerpt from part 3 of the call of the wild. but it was in giving the law and making his mates live up to it, that buck excelled. dave and sol-leks did not mind the change in leadership. it was none of their business. their business was to toil, and toil mightily, in the traces. so long as that were not interfered with, they did not care what happened. billee, the good-natured, could lead for all they cared, so long as he kept order. the rest of the team, however, had grown unruly during the last days of spitz, and their surprise was great now that buck proceeded to lick them into shape. what theme is most supported by the ideas in this excerpt? good leaders are strong and intelligent. loyalty can be a very powerful force. only the strong survive in the wilderness. we are all ruled by our natural instincts.
