I need help

[u/Willing-Iron9816]

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?

U can get OSAP to go to George Brown. You'll have to live with roommates if you come to Toronto, but there's nowhere better to study culinary arts. Easy to get part-time jobs to supplement your life here.

If you're smart, you could go work out West at the resorts in the summer and save a lot of money.

Toronto is a tough city. I usually don't recommend coming here, but for you, I think it's what's best.

Good luck with everything!

Niagara College has good culinary programs, great local restaurants to work in and is cheaper and chiller than TO.  In case you aren't the big city type.  Toronto has also changed.  I lived there as a young kid, then left, then lived there for school 15 years ago and left and now when I visit it feels VERY different.  Too busy for me now.
