    This is what I feel about cooking and feeding others .i never really liked my cooking but when others taste it , they really appreciate me . I can't study for hrs but i can think about food and cooking for whole day . I find myself really happy when i am preparing food or trying new recipes . I really want to open my own resturant . But with proper skills .i want to feed everyone delicious meal.🥰

      Be prepared to work for 12-18 hours day, get abused, exploited mostly on daily basis, no days off when you're sick, no weekend, no fixed day off, forget festival celebration, friends and family. Dating is almost impossible in this career, your marriage will be affected and your wife and kids will never see you. Also for the first 5-7 years salary 10-30K hi rahega. 10-12 saal k bad kuch accha paisa milega but life to nahi j rahegi koi. BPO me at least 2 days to off to milta hai, night karne k baad bhi kuch life to milti hai enjoy karne ko.

I am really passionate about cooking… I really would like to build a career in cooking… I’m asking experts in the field to make an informed decision. Could you please help me to make a decision…

      hey, I might be a bit late but I'm 28 and tired of my job in Financial analysis (MBA). Was doing volunteering at a temple since I was a teen.... Used to have a lot of fun spending time in the kitchen every saturday and sunday. I still work at my place for money... but the joy in cooking is something else... If you live in a big city like mumbai, it's easy to just find a little bit of volunteering every weekend
