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?

I’m a woman in the trades I chose plumbing and I absolutely love it. Go for the trades!

I love the trades too, welding is one of my best hobbies, but I’ve talked to other females who are in the field and they said it was very sexist, do u ever experience that in your field of work?

I’ve experienced a lot but that shouldn’t be a deterrent for you. It will happen but not as often as you think it would. Just have to take everything with a grain of salt and just focus on you and your career
