> i wouldn't mind cooking again cool. the reality of that field is that if you ever want to make a good living at it you must be self employed or figure out a way to stand far enough out from the crowd that you in particular are worth more than every other bloke in the world that can be taught to open a can of tomatoes or chop garlic. i know a fella that is now retired but he was a baker, he had worked for decades to build up a reputation being ""'the best""" and he did cakes for the white house, celebrity weddings, and similar. i know another guy who does a hot dog cart and he works 9 months then fucks off to greece in the winters. if you enjoy more of a mcdonald's kitchen feel i know another guy who ran the kitchen in a state prison. prison or school district would be an easy middle class salary and a pension. restaurant owners i know are almost invariably overworked. you can make money at it, but it's a fickle business and will require a huge time commitment. good luck, anon. if you want to be a cook, go out and start cooking and working towards your dream. no government gives a shit about you after the instant you vote for them and you would do well to not wait around for them to sort your shit out for you.
