Like other posters have said, take a cooking class, but also I would suggest seeking out people who work in kitchens in your area and get advice from them - and maybe even try a part-time job in a fast food joint to test yourself. Fast food is not exactly culinary to be sure, but the 'on your feet all day and in a hot ass kitchen' element is still there. There's no guarantee that any place you get work, you'll be making the food you want to make, so starting with fast food is a good way to eat humble pie and learn it's not a job about you.

Everyone has fantasies about jobs they'd like better than their own, but what we forget is that these fantasies usually involve us making more of our own decisions that these actual job tracks call for - we get romanced by the thought of having control over our lives and following our dreams. But you need to make damn sure you understand that reality of being an actual cook, and how it's pretty much one of the hardest careers you can set for yourself - and you need to be honest with yourself if you have the constitution to be that sort of person. It turned Anthony Bourdain into a speed freak, after all.
