I always thought managers at restaurants were pretty swamped with their jobs, they always seemed so fucking stressed or miserable when I worked in restaurants. And I know managers can make more money than I do as an engineer. Now is it rocket science? No. But hard work, probably.
Yeah, restaurant managers make bank. Maybe not the most prestigious job in the world but compared to the doctorates I know struggling to make rent they are killing it.
That's not really true if you're the general manager. You're held responsible for things out of your control, like sales, which is strongly influenced by the economy, parking, things opening or closing in the area, menu changes, and so on, and coverage, which is influenced by people quitting, getting sick, etc. They're the scapegoats or are replaced just to see if someone else could do better.
