Well, like many of you, I have read the online journal of Logan Worley. It really helped me answer some questions that I had. His situation is somewhat similar to mine (career change), but of course, I am looking for further info.
I am in law school, but my heart has always been cooking, creating, and experimenting. My whole goal for my career has been to "NOT BE STUCK BEHIND A DESK ALL DARN DAY". (Of course 'darn' is not the original word of choice). Now, with a good cooking school opening up here in my area, I am facing a dilema of throwing caution into the wind and chaning paths.
The weird hours in cooking do not bother me...the working on holidays does not bother me...the only thing that makes me nervous is the money. I am 27 years old, married, and moving into our first house. My wife has a great job, but we would eventually like to have children...at which point we will probably become a one income family--mine! And from what I hear, it takes about 10 years before you are making any real money as a cook.
So with that said, any feedback from the more experienced?
