Dada’s Answer
Starting as a chef early has become harder to find committed young chefs because everyone wants to be like the ones that they see on TV, while its difficult to find chefs of a decent enough caliber who are willing to put in the work.
It is true that many people seem to have the misconception that the road to becoming a chef is easy, but in the culinary field reality is in fact the complete opposite, “Being a chef is tough and demanding both physically and mentally so if you don’t love it there is no point!” The long hours that are synonymous with the career, makes it absolutely vital that you are passionate and dedicated to the craft.
Chefs certainly agree that being dedicated, passionate and driven is essential if you want to make it in this competitive industry.
