I Am Not Happy With My Life As It Is

Coulda shoulda woulda been at a better financial stance if i woulda never listened to my ex and woulda been a chef by now making pretty good money. He told me to go to college instead to become a white collar so that i can be on his level. He said he would leave me if i am not a college graduate. Even though, my career goal was to be a culinary chef who would soon open up her own restaurant. I was pursuing the culinary trade, i was going for a certificate not an associate's or bachelor's degree. I wanted to focus more on the hands on aspect of being a chef.

Silly stupid me listened to my ex because i was IN LOVE . i go to college for an associate's.... Took me 3 years and still couldn't finish it because i had to work and go to school to the point i got anxiety i had to take a break from it. My ex left me anyway right before i Even started college but i still went through with it because i wanted to be "more intelligent" and be "successful" .

I realize now culinary arts is my passion. I'm getting that certificate and then do what i love... Cooking beautiful colorful delicious dishes. I'm happier in a kitchen than i am in a damn office doing spreadsheets.

You do so need to follow your dreams. You'll be so much happier making more money because you love what you are doing
I too gave up my passion for a business degree. I wanted easy money. Then the recession hit and everyone was fucked. I had huge debt and settled for a job I hated. Moral of the story is follow your passion. You might not have money but the alternative is you might not have money and hate your job lol

@Qwerty14: lol. There you go right there. Degrees don't guarantee you jobs. Trades give you a greater chance because after all, it's the skills that pay the bills. Desk job just isnt for me and people look down on me for it. Happiness is my goal. Chefs have decent salaries to live. I'm not money hungry like that.
@Unknown1995: Best thing about a trade is you will use it even if you don't work. You will cook no matter what. Trust me, I've had a lot of car troubles this past week and it's at times like this I wish I became a mechanic. Sadly knowing how to write reports doesn't fix my car lol
