Entry-level roles for both Room Attendant and Culinary positions start at an average of $25/hr.

Please keep in mind, that both positions are physically demanding. If standing for long periods—often up to eight hours a day—is difficult for you, these careers may present challenges. Both roles require a mix of fine motor skills like dicing vegetables or cleaning with a high attention to detail. They also require gross motor skills for lifting and carrying heavy items like a 30-pound box of fruit or pushing a heavy room attendant cart.
