Hello, I am 29 years old, in a few months I will be 30. I graduated from the University of National and World Economy and in the last 8 years since I graduated from the university, I have worked in trade and insurance companies. The problem is that the more time passes, the more I realize for myself that I haven't hit my profession, I feel out of place, things aren't going well, it makes sense to do my job well, but I'm not happy, although no one it doesn't bother me, the climate in the company is good, the bosses are ok, but still the inner feeling is negative. On the other hand, I have always loved to cook, it is my great passion, I am very passionate. I wonder if I should try to retrain in the economic field - chef insurance. There are cooking classes that are really expensive and worth it, which, in my opinion, can give you a very good basis to start working directly in a good restaurant, and not to start from the neighborhood kebab shop. I think I would be a good cook and most importantly - I would do it with great pleasure. The things that worry me are that it is said that cooking is a low-paid profession, at least until you become good, there is dishonesty on the part of employers and great exploitation, and that it is a misery. In insurance, working in an international company, I still have a social and living standard that satisfies me at this stage. But isn't everything in this world money ... Shouldn't I take a risk now before I have children and a serious family and try to do what will make me happy Most of my friends call me - you're crazy, it's a prestigious profession, you will peel carrots for 1 year until someone gives you a chance, etc. The general opinion in Bulgaria is that only the losers, the socially weak, etc. become cooks, but in my opinion in the last few years, cooking has become more popular and good. paid profession? What do you think?

Not bad - you do your courses in parallel with the work. Then you can start work on Saturday and Sunday somewhere - a craft is stolen. Studying economics is a big advantage for you. You can run a business one day - and why not, make your own restaurant. I think this would be a solution for you - you will both have a business and use your qualifications by now, and you will be able to experience your passion. One is always better at what one does with gusto. But at the age of 30 you are still young for your business - I would take a course in parallel with your work, I would see if I like this job with work on weekends (for a little money) and then ... no kidding - I would took a ship. The advantage of working on a ship is not only the pay, but that you really cook high-level international cuisine, contacts are made and you save your money in the end .... In 5-6 years you can gather KNOWLEDGE and money for your business ... to be one step ahead of the competition. Good cuisine will be more and more appreciated in Bulgaria, but in my opinion there is still a lot of potential for new, exotic restaurants with TOP cuisine, although lately we have made very good ones. Good luck
