Based on my experience, it depends on how much you know, how bad you want it and how good you are. Some of my peers I've known trained between 10-20 years to get where they're at working at very high-end restaurants. Some of my other peers detoured and took a gamble and decided to open their own cafes, restaurants and food businesses and have been very successful. It really depends on what your dreams and aspirations are.
