Hard choice. I hate dealing with people, but Im really good at it in a professional setting. And they can make good money in tips.

But I like cooking. But Im not a professional. Like I can cook well, but thats things I usually like. And I cant really just keep redoing something. And people can get really picky sometimes...

Depends on the place. Having binged some Gordon Ramsay shows lately, though, being a cook seems cooler. (And, while watching Gordon Ramsay, it once again struck me how crazy it is that non-instructional cooking shows are a big thing. Entertainment has certainly branched out over the years.)

Depends on the country. If we're talking about the US, then easily waiter because its less work for more pay. Pretty much any other country though, I'd say cook.

For once, Mead isn't wrong. It's a fantastic show, especially after the first few episodes. (Granted, I still need to see season 3.)

I do work at a restaurant (pizza hut). I'm a delivery driver.

Anyway between the two, wait staff, as they make tips.

There's a ton of factors to this.
Like, do I magically become a chef? I can cook, especially with guidelines, and I have enjoyed chefs I work with, but I'm so far from an actual chef.
So I guess waitstaff is my only option unless you mean cook like someone who makes pizza or fries chicken.
Actually, when it comes down to it, I'd much rather handle the people. People suck, but I have self respect and can usually take it better than most. Usually you just let people blow steam until the real (and small) complaint comes through.

Cook for sure. I've worked cooking before and would end up dropping things as a waiter. That's part of the reason I wouldn't be working on a bar too.

Yeah you do. But I'll never understand why a table has sharp enough edges to cut you if you bump into too hard by accident.
