/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Thoughts on culinary school?

I'm getting on in age, 29, riding a desk in a job I would say I'm somewhat satisfied with making just slightly over $20 an hour. My real passion is in cooking, but hear the pay is meager unless you're working very upscale and even then you need to have attended some of the best schooling with near a decade of experience, or been protege to someone very well known to get one of those jobs. Anyone transition later in life like I'm considering? Obviously not going to be one of those 'go for a few months and dropout' types, I need a career transition and there's bill to still pay.

What would be in store for me if I take this musing to action?
