is it hard to be dealer?

[Eldon]

I agree with everything said above. I was a dealer and prefered it to BJ in the pit but:

If you have a stable 9-5 choice paying a living wage, take it.

There is a lot of uncertainty in a dealers work schedule, you take a lot of abuse, and sometimes you are surrounded with a lot of ignorant, obnoxious people. No wait, I think I just described many 95 jobs.

Good Luck

Like others have mentioned, if you just want someone out there throwing cards it can be an easy job. If you want a good dealer who can keep the game rolling, make the players feel comfortable, understand and properly interpret the rules, and get a bunch of hands out an hour it can be a very difficult, thankless job.

Here in town we have about 10 poker rooms. I play almost exclusively at one of them because the dealers are far and above the best in town. They are friendly, know their stuff, and are in general great guys (and gals).
