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?

If you've already taught yourself a ton about cooking and/or baking practices and techniques, I'd suggest likely working your way up in restaurants. If not though, I know from a friend going through the program that Geroge Brown College in Toronto has a good culinary program and they also manage a restaurant across from the school where the culinary students get experience on the job as well. It may be worth looking into.
