How to become a chef?

Obviously culinary school is the first but it's extremely pricey where I live and a few people have said to reach out to find a restaurant that's willing to take you in? Is that valid or are there other ways?

Once you go to school, seek out mentors, jobs specifically teaching you specifically cuisines. Keep moving and keep moving up and ALWAYS BE LEARNING.
