As one of the top ten high-paying occupations in the 21th century, many people may think that chefs are well-paid but hard-working, and the workload will be very heavy. Staying in a stuffy kitchen every day makes hard money. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of people who are not familiar with the catering industry. This is not the case.

Although, when you first learn to cook, you have to work hard from nothing to gradual proficiency. After all, basic skills can't be solid by reading more books and frying more dishes. You have to practice knife cutting and cooking repeatedly every day. These are the necessary skills to make a delicious dish. If you don't have solid basic skills, you will be an unqualified chef, not to mention the future.

As a qualified chef, after having a solid basic skill, it is an essential process to enter the society, exercise in hotels, guesthouses and other catering industries, and accumulate rich work experience and cooking experience. Learning at school can quickly open the door for you to enter the catering industry, and really improve yourself depends on transforming the theoretical knowledge and professional skills you have learned at school into work applications after you enter the work field, and slowly absorbing them to truly become your own. Generally, a chef can reach the level of a chef in five years, with an annual salary of more than 111 thousand. A chef with over 11 years' experience has been able to take charge of the executive chef of a star-rated hotel, with an annual salary ranging from several hundred thousand to several million. In fact, when a chef has 11 years of working experience, what they do is no longer boring in the kitchen every day to cut vegetables and stir-fry, but more is the research and development of dishes.

Compared with other industries, chefs who have worked for ten years are more relaxed and have higher salary.
