I'd love a career using my passion for cooking, but how can I do this and make the money to support my family?

Careershifter question

By Anonymous on 26 February 2007 at 11:15

37 year old married man with 2 children, who has worked in sales all of my working life. My passion in life is to cook (been on MasterChef twice). I am truly torn between doing what I love to do and what I can afford to do. I am sure this would be an easy decision to make for a single man with no commitments, but not for one with children and financial commitments...

I am sure that when you name your situation - feeling torn between doing what you love and what you can afford to do - you speak for many others.

One thing to acknowledge, right from the start, is that you know your passions, and have made serious progress towards expressing them already - on TV, through weekend jobs. Bravo!

You clearly have flair, courage and a go-get attitude which will stand you in good stead...
