Leme’s Answer

It depends on what route you would like to take; you can start by taking classes or looking at culinary schools or take up a part-time in the food and beverage industries. When I was in high school, I needed some extra money and a lot of my friends got part-time jobs at various diners, food courts, fast food places, and the more experienced ones worked at restaurants. I started off at a cafe and slowly worked my way up from cashier and dishwasher, to the server and front of the house and then working as a prep cook and bartending (I was 21 by then) until I was able to work as a sous chef and so forth.

I highly recommend working part-time at a restaurant, a cafe or coffee shop to start out and slowly work your way up if that is what you're looking for. I also recommend working in different settings and environments. Working at a fast food place will be completely different from working at a high-end steak house.
