It’s amazing that people can make a career out of cooking. It goes beyond working at a restaurant (though that is a great job too!) to setting your sights on a formal cooking career. Believe it or not, professional chefs can make very good money — and even end up on a TV show. To become a professional chef, many people feel that they’ve got to go to culinary school, and that can help. But, if you’re in a city where that’s not possible, or can’t afford to attend school, you can become self trained with focus and discipline. What cooking schools will teach you is technique and how to make things to perfect your craft. You can do the same by being diligent to learn and do in a cooking environment — even if it is at home cooking for families and friends. The key to becoming a professional chef is to give thought to what kind of food you want to cook. There are italian restaurants, sushi and Japanese restaurants, American fare, fine dining, breakfast, lunch, dinner — the sky is the limit. By knowing the type of chef you want to be you can focus on cooking the kinds of foods that are relevant to your aspiring career. Most of all, don’t be afraid to reach out and connect with fellow chefs and restaurant owners to mentor you. It’s a great way to learn and you’ll have someone experienced to take you under their wing. If you are able to take the time to go to culinary school, choose wisely — do the research online, talk with various schools about what they offer and ask around. If you spend the investment (tuition) for your career, you want to make sure you’re going to get the best of the best education and connections. School isn’t just about what you learn, but what contacts, people and mentors, etc. you meet along the way.
