I've been cooking since the mid 90s.

I've never made over 35k / year even as manager.

Meanwhile I have friends that over 150k (I'm happy for them and only blame myself for my $ issues)

The pros of cooking are that you'll never go hungry and you'll be able to keep your head above water.

The cons are that you'll likely ruin relationships, work 50+ hours a week, never have weekends or holidays off and will be eternally stressed out.

Alcoholism and drug use among cooks is rampant.

I believe that cooking is a skill that everyone should learn and can save you thousands of dollars over your lifetime. Yet it's a thankless (and addictive) job.

i’ve always wanted to work as a chef, or atleast complete a course in it.

probably the best skill you could have, and i’d say one of the sexiest 👀

You don't need a degree. Just a willingness to learn. And a sense of urgency.

Almost all "chefs" that I've worked with weren't worth the pot to piss in.

might consider it actually 👀🤔

You also need thick skin.

Watch "the Bear" and "Waiting".

I do not recommend you work in a kitchen for vert long. It's not a good career path. I do recommend it if you have a plan to get the f out as soon as you've learned what you need.
