Let me just put it this way: I fly multiengine aircraft in instrument conditions, and there are times when my server job is more difficult.

Well, I'm sure this has nothing to do with your excellent people skills.

Actually (if you've ever done the job), the challenge doesn't come from dealing with people, it comes from being able to memorize a large amount of information, prioritize your tasks, and do a large amount of multitasking.

Huh? Of course they're applicable. Are you a pilot too?

I compared two jobs that require a lot of the same basic skills. What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

Is it standard in all states that serving positions get paid below min. wage since they get tips??? Never heard of this before and it sounds horrible.

I believe the law (at least in my state) is that if wages + tips &lt; minimum wage, then the employer has to make up the difference.

Yeah, that's pretty standard. I have to wonder how the government arrived at the figure of $2.13 an hour, though. I mean, why not $2.15 or $2.00? Why make it such a weird amount?
