Culinary School vs Corporate
As i’m looking towards the future I’m considering going to culinary school after completing undergrad. Cooking seems to be the only thing i’m passionate about (i’ve tried almost everything) and i don’t really enjoy the work that comes with my major.
I’m not primarily driven by money alone and purposeful meaningful work that I enjoy is much more important, however, I’m very scared to make the decision between pursuing the corporate world or the culinary world.
My goal would be to work in a Michelin restaurant, but from what i’ve read online i’d have to give up my relationship, family and all free time in order to pursue this route. I’m very close with family and friends and I have an amazing girlfriend and I would hate to cut everyone off.
I would like honest opinions on whether my assumptions are correct, whether there’s any way I could balance my social life and work life and finally how I could make a more informed decision.
