Parents say chefs don't make money
Question
I have wanted to be a chef for years, but was talked out of it by my parents, who argued that chefs don't make any money. They persuaded me to go to university in Bristol, but now I am desperate to leave and do what I always wanted.
Since being in Bristol I have been working as a part-time line chef in a busy Mexican restaurant for six months. I have never had any formal training and although I am certain I want to leave university for a career as a chef, I donÁ¢ÂÂt know what the next step is. Is it a good idea to go to college and get NVQs? Are there many opportunities for apprentices?
