Experience, experience, experience. Although a formal culinary education is potentially helpful on the job training is the most valuable way to rise in the world of culinary arts. Becoming a chef is a very rewarding career but does not come without a significent price. Long hours, unusual work times, stress alcoholism and many other risks are constant pitfalls the cul;inary proffesional face, on the other hand creative freedom, flexible hours, non repetitive work and a sense of being the coolest cat in town reward us tenfold. The worst career in the world that i wouldnt leave for anything. |

Be prepared to work in extreme temperatures and long hours, but if you have a passion for food, then your work might be really pleasant. |

My best advice for people considering this career is to find a good restaurant and hire on starting as a prep cook. The best way to learn to be a chef is to work with a chef. Going to culinary school can have some advantages but the best place to get hands on experience is to actually work in the field. I would absolutly recommend this career (of course one should enjoy cooking)to someone wanting a fun and fast paced enviornment.
I would go into this field again if I had it to do it over. I have always enjoyed cooking and as I have been told, many times, I am quite good at it.
The pros are that one works in a warm place and one can usually eat cheaply (helps with the grocery bills). The cons are that one works in a very warm place and if one does not do well under pressure it can be somewhat nerve wracking.
People should know that it is a faced paced enviornment, one is building Rome everyday, and that the people who tend to choose this life can be quite intense. There can be quite a bit of pressure and impatience with mistakes. I love all that about it and have enjoyed my 25 years in the food service industy. There is always something new to learn and master, it is never boring. |
