It's hard to be a chef. Not everyone has the talent, skills, and stamina to succeed in the intense world of a commercial or restaurant kitchen. Fortunately, you can now acquire culinary skills, as well as test your mettle, by undertaking a chef education at a culinary school.
If you can't stand the heat...
Before pursuing a culinary career, you should know the challenges that you'll face as a chef. You will almost certainly work long hours. Thirteen-hour days are typical for chefs, and they often work nights and weekends. You will find the kitchen to be physically demanding in other ways, too. Chefs often work in 110-degree conditions. They must stand for hours at a time. Sometimes they must lift heavy crates or cookware. Most chefs have a few scars from gas burners, errant knives, or spattering oil.
