most people imagine being a chef as this artsy fun casual gig where you get lots of money for cooking.

but you dont get to eat or enjoy the food nad instead have to be on your feet all day, and working as fast as you can and balancing several different meals at once, and dealing iwth the heat and sweat of being in a hot kitchen, and because its a restaurant you are ALWAYS working a horrible night shift and dont have a sense of normalcy.

it doesn't sound very pleasing to me. if you love ot cook, cook, take a class, but making it a career doesn't sound like it'd be fun.

Wasn't too interested in eating a bunch of food or anything. A lot of physical jobs I've worked had pretty shitty conditions and I didn't imagine a kitchen would be worse.
Do you possibly have a suggestion that would be a more 'fun' career? I'm not set on cooking 100% since I have no experience thus far.

the thing is, you can go to collage a secondary time, so i would recommend going to a safer program, if you know what i mean. you can always take culinary later on, as you don't want to be left out in the open if that career fails for you.

Working in a kitchen is grueling, intense, and pretty shitty. .. unless you have a deep love for cooking.

Like the chefs who work in these kitchens, you have to find what you have passion for. Otherwise you will always be left feeling empty.

To do this, think about your ultimate goal, then see what educational goal you would need to reach in order to get there.
