Question

What is the range of salary in the profession of cooking?

Answer 1

Las Vegas is one of the only cities where you could be a cook, not a chef, and make pretty good money.  You  could be a cook at mc donalds or dennys....one makes $7 and the other makes $10....it depends... try the census bureau website

Answer 2

Depends on where you live more than anything else.  You will never make money unless you own a restaurant.  $8.00 for very beginner to $35000 a year.  If you work in a 5 star restaurant then things might be different, but you will have to work very very hard and win contests to work at a 5 star restaurant.
