Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 697701" data-attributes="member: 552">I was never a 'chef' but I was their slave for roughly 2 years. I think the knowledge is the best part of the job, but the work sucks. I'm one of those guys that's still deciding where to go 'exactly' with my life, but I think I found my rounded corner.I'm going to finish up a degree in computer science, work with it for as long as I can take, then go back to school and eventually practice Patent Law, which I received a great deal of advice on from board members here. It's not fun work, but It's right there on the ridge I want to be in. I'm passionate about the material this section of law covers, as passionate as I am about the computer. It's right there. And when I can take no more law, maybe I will have found my third ridge, maybe something like running a fried chicken delivery restaurant or teaching. Those sound fun, but my goal is to 'get past the hard stuff' first, rather than working backwords like many people end up doing. That being, battling up hill to get where you want.I don't know you, and I won't pretend to, but my advice is that you finish your degree till you can't go any farther, then work with that till you can't take it anymore. Most people have 6 jobs over their life, according to some statistic I read VERY recently (though I know not to trust statistics), and I think that you should at least have the perseverance to try out your current path till you must give in. Then go where you need to, and the second you have the opportunity, go to cooking school. I'd like to go to a cooking school, but just for the education. The career seems absolutely boring to me, unless, just maybe, I was a personal chef. That's tolerable. Working in a kitchen, unless your talking about something wonderfully high-class is probably an incredible pain. Much worse than those classes you are taking right now. Oh, and my general advice for anyone, be direct, optimistic, and diligent.</blockquote>
