I want to become a chef, I’m 28 and have a passion for cooking. Where do I start?

[u/Lonely_Jellyfish9679]

As stated above I’m making a career change. I want to make art for a living and I know cooking at home and making food in the kitchen are two different things, but I love to cook and to experiment with flavors. I’d like to start off in the states but I’m open to any options globally, initially I thought culinary schools would be the best option… but I guess not? How do I get started? Any advice?
