Moriscia’s Answer
Absolutely. It is a very fulfilling career that can lead to being head chef at very established, famous restaurants or even owning your own restaurant. You can review the career paths of some famous chefs (Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Racheal Ray) to see their journey and success from that route. The culinary field has many branches, from cooks to food & sanitation inspectors, restaurant managers, food critics, kitchen equipment/consumable suppliers or food processing.
