Nursing or Chef? Which one should I go for?
Okay, I got two offer to continue my study. First is nursing, and another one is culinary arts. I always wanted to be a nurse. A great nurse, but at the same time, my passion for culinary arts is very high, and now I can't decide which one should I go for. I don't really mind about the salary, really. I just wanted to give a great public service. So, which course should I go and pick? Cooking for people or healing people? I'm 19 years old, Male from Terengganu, Malaysia.

Providing much needed health care to people is very important especially in Asian countries where a lot of people do not get proper health care. You may be able to combine the degrees and become a nutrition specialist. This way you have a medical profession that is mingled with your love of cooking, and you're providing both services to people.

If you really want to help people, go nursing all the way.

Both careers are noble. Both have opportunities to serve others. One pays 3-4 times higher wage. It may not matter now, but it will when you turn 60. Nursing is hard work but has more opportunity to advance to a teaching or desk job. Cooking is hard work and remains so. The cooks I know who work in a Metropolitan city make around $14/hr in a retirement home. It is hard, hard work. In the United States, you can't live on that salary. If you don't succeed as a cook in an upscale restaurant, you will have to take whatever job you can find. Do you plan to have a family? If so, you will need to support them. Why not go for the higher pay and use your culinary passion on weekends. Feed the poor????
