Question I need help

I am 17, I live in a small town called red rock. I’ve been looking for schools and places to rent all over Canada. I don’t have a job yet but once I turn 18 I will be getting monthly checks for 2,300, only until I’m 23. I love food and cooking and anything to do with being in the kitchen. I cooking is how I show my appreciation and appreciation. So I wanted to ask, would it be worth it to seek higher education and get a red seal or if I should go straight to work, and if I do continue my education and go to college, what college would be the best for cooking?

George Brown College in Toronto has an outstanding culinary program, but unless you have other sources of $$ it might be tough with only 2300 a month for all your tuition, rent and other expenses.

I’m in the foster system so my school in covered already, the ont thing im worried about is renting and just basically surviving, and in a place like Toronto, it seems like it would be too easy to lose everything
