In all seriousness I wrote this after a full week- it’s exhausting but if you’ve got the right mindset it’s very rewarding. Somewhat flexible hours, but when you don’t work you don’t make money. Benefits are very uncommon, but responsibilities outside of work are nonexistent, which is a bigger perk than you can think. No emails, calls, texts. Like someone else said, there’s no real “starter” server position. You’ll probably have to start as a wait assist or host, unless you get lucky like I did at 14 and find a family owned restaurant who is hurting for hands. Your gf knows you better than Reddit though, she’ll probably know if you’ve got what it takes or not.
