  • Chef

    Chef
    Being a chef is probably the career I am most interested in. I would love to be able to own my own restaurant someday. Some Interesting facts about cooking is that the first culinary school opened in 1800 in Boston, while the first cookbook was written in 1896. Also, chefs are considered artists with food, which is one reason why I enjoy art, too.

  • Artist

    Artist
    A career in art offers many varieties, including drawing, painting, and sculpting. The field I would be most interested in is drawing. Famed artist Pablo Picasso was born with a name consisting of 23 words. Also, the word "cartoon" comes from a painting term meaning sketch. Surprisingly, Vincent van Gogh only sold 1 painting during his lifetime.
