Karen’s Answer

I’ve worked long hours with minimum wages. It’s smart to get a cooking degree but you need to have a goal in mind to stand out from the crowd no matter what you do.

If that's really your passion then go for it! You are probably still young and don't have to rely on a steady income yet. No Job is perfect but if you find your passion then no amount of money will replace that!

Paul’s Answer

There are disadvantages to being a chef, but every business has this. You have the potential to work weekends, holidays, late nights, and you can also work long days as well. The strength staff you have in the kitchen (and how many) can influence how hard you have to work, which can be stressful. Along with this, right now hiring staff is very difficult because you may not get many people to show up for interviews or even to start work. Pay rates for cooks are slowly increasing, but right now that's because of the effect so the pandemic, where it was so hard to find someone and people are asking more (whether their skills match up to the rate is another question).
Now that I stated some negatives, let me give you one or 2 positives. You will meet some great people who will influence how you cook as well as how you work. I've told people when they ask, I don't miss the job, I miss the people I worked with and would love to work with them again. Depending on what you are doing, there are opportunities that you might not get in other fields like travel, which is great, when the company is paying for most of it.
