How to know whether you can be a chef full time?You can’t until you actually become a chef plus there’s no simple answer.
Just like I now know, I don’t want to work at anything 24ร7ร365 .Luckily I enjoy being a doctor but not the unnatural unhealthy workload the Government hospitals and Medical Colleges have .Doctor heal thyself made me step back. I couldn’t cope.
I was asked “didn’t you know ,you would have to do this?”.
Honestly at the premium colleges I studied in ,there were many teachers and there was no dearth of faculty .There was a division between the hospital and the medical education side,which is required, as patient care is impossible to juggle with anything else.But I digress I wanted to share about the site culinaryschool.org which gives a very interesting list of culinary schools.
A very close relative ,who was passionate about cooking , wanted to study hotel management and a weird older sister told her that it was too much work since the training starts at the bottom.
If there were sites like the culinaryschools.org it would help.Maybe all career options should have online and offline try-it-out or internship options too ,before you make the choice which can make or break you.
While real life is always better ,sometimes we don’t ever want to try dangerous things,unsuitable or unsustainable carrers,harmful food and that’s why knowing what works for you,what’s junk and what’s not must start early.Good food and junk needs to be strictly separated and kids do learn great with play.
The many games on the culinary schools site are fun ,entertaining and informative,while the extensive Directory of schools are a treasure trove.
Fitness Food run is one such game ,which I played to check whether it actually made sense.I also liked Fast food combat .It was easy to understand and kids will understand that free fruits and veggies are better than frozen and stale ones.
Sometimes interactive games serve a purpose.That’s why I played the recycling games where Tom and Jerry show river recycle game shows us how Tom and Jerry are cleaning up the river.I am a passionate advocate of environmental health and choosing to keep nature clean is our way of growing food rich in nutrients.
In case of online games ,be careful about how long you spend time on sites and kids must always be under supervision.

As an HR person I 100% agree that decisions regarding your professional life should be based – among other factors – on hands-on experience.
Of course a day- or even week-long “internship” will never paint the full picture, but it might prevent that you invest blood, sweat and tears (and years of studying) for a job that really isn’t for you.

Exactly my point.While general education is helpful,specific internships can be helpful.
