Is there a job you’ve always daydreamed of pursuing but you were afraid to quit your job? Often times, it is difficult to depart from a stable job to pursue a dream. We get attached to our co-workers, the routine of the job, the pay and benefits earned and the stability of the employer. Quitting a job means embracing the unknown and forging forward onto an unknown path. But when is the right time to try something new? How do we know we won’t be happier and more successful pursing the unknown path?

Quitting my job and going to cooking school was the best decision I ever made. Tired of being a receptionist at a law firm, I didn’t see the career advancement or joy needed to sustain me throughout my career. After attending cooking school, I used my training from the culinary arts degrees to launch a successful career as a chef. With experience from Culinard, I was offered several different career opportunities and choose the right kitchen and position that suited my personality and my ambition. When I think back to how unhappy I was working at the law firm and how happy I am when I enter the kitchen where I am lead chef, I don’t even recognize the person I used to be. Living my dream at work has led me to fulfill my personal dreams as well.
