The culinary industry is unique because, as long as you create a dish that appeals to at least a small segment of the population, you are bound to be successful. Most people eat three times a day, and when they are not actively eating, they are considering what and where their next meal will be. Most industries do not experience this sort of stability when it comes to the demand for their products. This is not to say, however, that becoming a chef is easy or that the job itself is glamorous.
