Learning to be a chef has always been good, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a foundation.

The key is whether the chef is a well-paid job. Whether you want to find a job or open your own shop, learning western food is very suitable, and there is no age limit for learning to be a chef.

Just convince parents from the perspective of their worries.

How to learn is also a problem. Where to study is better! You can find out for yourself first. Generally speaking, going to school is better than being an apprentice, because the apprentice mainly works, and the master has little time to teach you and you have little time to learn. I suggest you go to school.
