Every time I get sucked in to cooking shows though, I start having visions of being a Chef and wondering if I could hack it, and if I would enjoy it as much as I think I would. A dangerous wondering when you're married to a man who's been trying to edge you towards the career for years... Recently Jon and I decided it would be best for me to take a break from working to recoup, take some time to focus on us and certain things we want in life as well as taking a moment to step out of the rate race for a minute (I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you're able! It was really hard for me to let myself go to this at first, but it's been so therapeutic for my emotional well-being and for us as a couple.) and trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I've been toying with the idea of going back to school for Culinary Arts at NSCC. The thing that I'm most nervous about with the career is that I'm not sure that it fits well with family life and having kids. I could handle the fast paced high stress environment, and some of the other not so appealing aspects of the career... But being suitable to family life come first and foremost for me, and is something that's definitely important to me with a career so I'm not really sure. I'm planning on doing a "test drive" at the school and with one of the head chef's here in Halifax to get a feel for it and see if it's something I'd want to pursue.
For now, I'll just enjoy watching cooking shows, and trying out their recipes... :)
