You know, you have to admit that it must be a rewarding field if people are starting in it later also. (Hello!, retired surgeon- I think maybe he might really like to cook. You would think he would be to pooped not to love it.) I think that it is an encouraging sign. I rode the elevator down today with the wife of a chef and started asking her some questions. I guess he only recently got his start. (Last two years) He worked for Coca-cola and made great money. I think he is probably in his mid-thirties. He told his wife that they would really have to start budgeting if he made the career change. She said she told him that as long as he was happy, she would do whatever and that it was worth it to her.
