I would start by getting a culinary arts degree. If you go ahead and get a B.A. degree you can get teacher certified in your state. Teacher Certification laws are different per state. (if you live in Fl, you can get certified in 9 months online) Use that degree, certification and experience to get that job.

Paul Smith's College in NY is a good school.
If i knew your location, i could help more.

Look towards finding a job at a restaurant or catering group. Not as much like a Chili's, but at a local fine dining establishment. Signing up to a local temp agency can help find a position as well.

You're only turning 18, so you still have a lot of work to do before you make the big bucks.

Well to be honest a cook can make anywhere from 5.15 at McDonald's to almost limitless for chefs who own their own businesses. Take Emeril Lagasse; owns a few restaurants, has a TV show, own line of cookware and grocery line. Pulls in an estimated 150 million a year.

After finishing high school,you can attend either the Culinary Arts Institue of America in Hyde Park,NY or Johnson and Wales in Rhode Island or other colleges that offer Culinary Arts Program.They are usually 4 years long,like most colleges. Then usually every two years you can take a test and upgrade your degree.
