Chefs work in a small kitchen area, moving quickly. They need to keep up with a fast pace and adapt to meet the
needs of customers. Chefs face pressure to satisfy
customers, but they also get to be creative and
experiment with new foods.
Dancers work on large stages, moving around. They
constantly have to perform for an audience and need to
be comfortable in front of large groups of people. Dancers
cannot be shy.
Both careers allow for creativity and self-expression. Both
face pressure from their audience, but chefs tend to work
in one place, while dancers may perform on many stages
in many places. Chefs may not see their audiences
directly, but dancers definitely do.
