You have to have a vocation for food preparation. It is not an easy field. My son is a chef. He cannot imagine doing anything else, but kitchen work is really difficult. Sort of like being an athlete. A chef needs a second career do to wearing out the body.
It really is physically demanding and culinary schools are now flooding the market and making the degrees worth less than they used to be. Depends on how much desire is there, I guess. My son went to a very good one ten years ago and I am not sure he would Do it again.

The school was hesitant about accommodations and worried he'd get burned or hurt. Which I can see, but this seems unacceptable to me.
I agree. That excuse is unacceptable. I suggest the school check the hands and arms of their graduates. I sincerely doubt there is a chef without a knife or burn scar. Just a few weeks ago my son chopped off a piece of his finger. Also, he has no hair on his hands to nearly his elbows because of the constant heat.
