My stable office life has me eyeing a chef's knife instead

I've been stuck in a data entry role for about six years now. The work is easy and the pay covers my bills, but I feel empty doing it. Every night, I come home and try new recipes, and my partner says my food is restaurant quality. I keep thinking about applying to local restaurants for a line cook spot, even though it would mean a pay cut. I have no real kitchen experience outside my home, which makes me nervous. The idea of starting from the bottom in a hot, busy kitchen is scary but also exciting. Is it foolish to leave a secure job for this kind of change? I'd like to hear from anyone who made a jump into the food industry later in life.

A customer's wobbly gate finally convinced me to pre-set all hinges first.

In my experience, it saves a ton of adjustment time later on.
