Keep looking other opportunities as your working.

Interesting that you Want to be a waitress. I know folks who've done that for years but they kindve fell into it. Do you want to be a waitress or did... you really want to work with the friend? Has the friend had your back while being unhappy in the kitchen and trying to get out?
Sounds like you want to be working with the public,just not in a kitchen. Maitre'd, shift manager, head server all frequently hiring 'waitress' jobs that you now have the experience to get. And if your family continues to hassle you remind them that if youre doing the work You decide where the money goes and that waitressing can pay better because of tips. more

Start your own restaurant. Use the skills you have on fried potatoes, create a food truck and get your life!

Sorry.... but it's not their life. If you are unhappy, go find another job. In that type of service industry, there's lots of jobs available. A... waitress with cooking experience is gonna be a lot more valuable to another company. You already know the pitfalls of the kitchen, and this will be an asset to your waitressing. more

The language of your post suggests you have been shifting the responsibility for your job/career decisions to others. Note: "but I was convinced" and... "but my relatives are convincing me." Unless you plan on sleeping on your relative's couch should you quit your job, your decision to stay or go doesn't concern them.

It's your career and your future, so take the steering wheel. a) What are your life-career goals? b) What are your unique talents and capabilities? c) In what sector and in kinds of work and jobs are you likely to find the best fit, given your interests and capabilities?
d) What steps can you take now in order to move in that direction (c)?

Once you have "the talk" with yourself and think through these questions, you will be in a much better position to make the right decision regarding your current situation. Presumably, you'll also review your financial situation to determine how much room you have for a job shift or a career transition. It's time to demonstrate your "planfulness".  more

Life without the strength of making decision is vague. Until when you start living your life is when you will realize what it means to stand for your... decision. At the moment you are doing what you are doing because of influence from others, kindly learn to stand for your decision. more

Please continue working as you look for another job which you enjoy doing. First get another job before you resign .

What I would say is,sign before resigning. In other words,look for another job before quitting

Does leaving continue making you earn ? i would think that what you are looking for is money ,to me i would work every where as long as am earning.

Please leave. Get other food certifications and venture into other avenues perhaps in cooking, prepping, nonprofits, meals for seniors and... veterans, school meals etc. It's a bummer when friends or family expect you to sacrifice. Prisons pay well. Etc. My best. You have options and your good hearted. more

Yes, based on everything you’ve said, it’s very clear that what you truly wanted from the beginning was to be a waitress,not a kitchen assistant. You... compromised because others convinced you it was “more difficult and prestigious." But that wasn’t your dream, and now you’ve given a full year to something that wasn’t even your plan. more
