In a good quality city restaurant, perhaps - in the vast majority of places, dream on!

I worked in a 2 star hotel maybe 5 or 6 years ago and i was on £8 per hour then. I have lots of friends who trined at the same catering college as me as a teenager and have gone on to better things, hotels in Harrogate and london and some up the north east and earn over £10 per hour now and they do not work in 5 star hotels. To be honest you can earn over £7 per hour just by using microwaves and friers in hospital kitchens so gettingover £10 per hour in hotels in not unrealistic.

:rotfl::rotfl: Actually, the working conditions are pretty good and the wages may not be brilliant but they keep all their tips - and they are bloody good. Plus of course they get to travel the world, eat lovely food, enjoy year round sunshine, pretty much pick and choose what cruise they work on...

I know!! Where do I sign up?!:cool:

It should also be mentioned that Phillipinos are traditionally a very seafaring nation, and as such it will be seen as a natural business for people to move into.

A lot of the better paid opportunities nowadays for Europeans on the sea are in the shipping or private yachts businesses. A french mate of mine worked on a large private yacht for a pretty decent wage, going from a cleaner to a chef in a couple for years, he reckons his crewmates were mostly French, Italian and Greek.
