Unless you really, really love cooking, don't pick it as a career. You'll have to pay your dues for years and years to get to a position where you're earning big money. It's a sweaty, physically and mentally draining, thankless job with many long hours, most of which will be evenings and weekends, so kiss the bulk of your social life goodbye. Aside from that though, I love it because cooking is so much more active and creative than a desk job and I couldn't imagine a career doing anything else.
