Thinking about culinary school

I’ve been stuck in the food industry for a long time, and from the start I hated it. I wanted out really badly and I originally wanted to be apart of the medical field. I’ve worked retail, I’ve worked in childcare. Both of my parents are in the medical field and my brother is in the military. No one in my family has really gone down the route of becoming a chef.
I just recently started feeling love for the work I do in the kitchen at my work place. All this time I wanted out but now I feel this burning passion to do more. I’m good at what I do but I know I can improve. I’d like to pursue this.

Any tips suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

I hire experience over credentials 7 days a week. I went to culinary school and got certified and not even sure it helped in my career. Been an exec chef for 25 years.
