What an exciting career you are looking into! I have a few chef friends and some of the jobs they have held are working in a restaurant, run their own catering business, worked in a bakery, chef for an event hall, personal chef and teacher. You just have to find your passion within culinary and see what you love!

I started my hospitality career working for a luxury hotel. Hotels provide the training and exposure to multiple careers in culinary as well with providing great benefits, which is hard to find in that industry.
