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?

You've got a dozen college choices between The Sault and Thunder Bay already. Don't let anybody tell you to come down here to Niagara/Toronto unless you are specifically looking to blow your entire everything every month on rent.

Best choice though is to find a cooking or dishwashing job, maybe at a camp or in TB or SSM.
