Nation's Restaurant News has an article on compensation in the restaurant business.

The article concludes that where you cook (country club, chain restaurant, etc) and your gender have a high correlation to how many hours a week you'll work, and how much money you'll make. The biggest group of respondents were executive chefs.

If you want to make money as a chef, it’s better not to work in a restaurant, according to a salary survey by the American Culinary Federation.

The average salary of restaurant workers who responded to the survey was $51,208, compared with $65,415 for those working in education; $63,994 for those working in health care; $83,753 for those working at private clubs; and $89,263 for the 2 percent of respondents who were self-employed.

"Peter Kiewit looked for three things in hiring people. He looked for integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if a person didn’t have the first…that the latter two would kill him. Because if they don’t have integrity, you want ‘em dumb and lazy. You don’t want ‘em smart and energetic.”
