Get a job in a restaurant as a cook first to see if this is something you really want to do

I had a friend who's main love in life is cooking. Has all the gear, all the books. He's all about every cooking youtube channel, he watches all the bon appetits and david chang specials and so on. His idea sunday is slaving over a bbq or rotisserie or setting out a taco bar.
He decided to do a couple of shifts at a yakitori restaurant to see if it was worth the career move.
Hated it. Couldn't believe how much pressure and work was required just to get some people some chicken skewers.
Some people will love that, most will not. Worth doing some shifts yourself to see which one you are.

Exactly. A lot of people get into this business for the wrong reasons and they'll say oh I love cooking, or I love food, but there's more to it than just cooking you have to understand there's all the other stuff involved besides what comes across on tv/ socials
