I’m a little confused about this. A CPA told me that i would have to pay myself on a W2… it didn’t make sense since i won’t have a steady stream of income coming in from the business or does that not matter??

I’m considering spending my money on going to cookery school in Paris for 18 months (I’m a 22 year old trainee chef) or do you think i should invest in property and go to a cheaper school? My parents and accountant have told me to invest in property. I can’t be arsed plus i want to go to the school in paris… but is it really worth it? at least if i own property, i will have a long-term investment, and spending £35000 on 18 months of training seems like alot – granted i’d be a very good chef but i won’t have anything of value to show for it.

Serious answers only please, not i don’t know.

Thanks
I haven’t got any prior experience at all – although I will have had a year or 18months by the time i go to Paris; I studied French Business at university where i realised I wanted to be in catering rather than sat behind a desk for the rest of my life. In the future I hope to be a top chef, with at least one michelin star, and so the culinary school would boost my prospects alot, although i equally appreciate that simply getting experience in a top restaurant is also valuable.
