So i'm 24 and i want to qualify for a cook. Planning on going to a cooking school. How is the job market and how's the pay? Is this a profitable route? I love food and already know how to cook some basic stuff so i think it's alright for me.

Make sure you can handle stress and can keep a cool head
Cooks have to deal with a lot of bullshit

make a food truck, if you're living in australia... get some good ameri ingrediants and make an exact replica of in n out, no one has come close to that burger yet and you'll profit huge if you travel around.
I'll lend you 25k if you can return 60k in 5 years

i was a chef for 5 years.
DO NOT go to school to learn.
6 months on the job, you'll run circles around fresh interns.
tl;dr...
DO NOT BECOME A CHEF...!!
No Matter how much they pay you, you're NEVER going to get more than minimum wage when you find out how many hours your working.
For the first 2-3 years... 16 hour days are common, 90+ hours a week...
A LOT of kitchens with good reputation have "chefs" lined up at the door to take your job.
Its a Dog eat Dog world...People will stab you in the back to get ahead.
2 of my good friends died around 27-28yo from heart attacks in the kitchen...
others with kids often said this like "i forget what my kids look like ;__;"
Unless you marry into money, or already have it so you can run your own place.
NOT WORTH IT
