Would I Go On Reality Cooking T.V. Shows

Would I Go On Reality Cooking T.V. Shows

I have been asked this by a number of people from, Friends, Family and people i work with and my answer has always been the same. I would not go on one of the T.V shows like Masterchef, Iron Chef Etc. Because in my own belief it would make more sense to continue work and know your getting paid rather then risking your job and maybe losing master chef or etc. This would mean job searching, Or if you dont lose your job you boss may expect a lot more work out of you and you may not be able to provide it and once again you could get fired. To me these shows are too much of a risk and i believe that it would just make more sense to stay at home.
