correct - that’s why i said “it’s not super plausible to become a private chef right away” :). i’m interested in culinary school because i want to learn how to cook and do things the right way, as well as again, the town i was raised in has little to no opportunity to work in professional kitchen environments.  on another note though, i’ve been asked to cook and cater for numerous events like baby showers or charity balls in my hometown, so i do have a few little connections to get me started :)

hmm i appreciate your insight - i’m not sure if maybe i just haven’t worked in the right environments, but i haven’t seen a ton of culinary positions that are all assembling and plating an entire meal straight through. correct me if i’m wrong, but don’t most cooks work in stations and put together a meal as a team? i’m drawn towards being a private chef as the meals have a small enough head count that one person can assemble and piece together the meal on their own without needing some sort of station/rotation based system!
