@Azebu is spot on. I love cooking and I'm pretty darn good at it based on other people's opinions but I also used to help a friend of mine in his restaurant business when he was short on staff, and doing that for few days made me not feel like cooking for a week at least. Unless you managed to get a job that isn't just being a cook but is more creative, like being a real chef, then it would kill your passion for food and cooking.
Kind like working with computers killed my passion for computers...
