If you want to be a chef, you need to get a job in a restaurant before you go to school. Going to school before working in the industry is the biggest mistake most aspiring chefs make.
I worked for many years as a chef before my back gave out so I think I'm qualified to give my opinion of the field.
It's hot, dirty and stressful. You can expect to work at any hour of the day depending on what you are cooking. Some days a 15 hour day is not out of the question. Very few places have sick days but most have vacation. You must be able to work nights and weekends and forget about family functions.
Starting pay is minimum wage but it does go up with experience. In a good house, line cooks will earn between $8 and $16 an hour.
My best advice to you is get a part time job in a kitchen and check it out. Yes, it can be hell, but if you love it, it's the best job in the world and one that really cannot be outsourced! * 1 year ago
