I also wanted to be an archaeologist since I was a child, but I got talked out of it in high school too (when I was about 13 though).
Chef is a good career though, particularly if you're good. It has good prospects. But on the other hand it does seem a shame to waste two years of hard work. Perhaps you could continue the bachelors part time (If your University would facilitate this) so you complete it in two years, but can also concentrate on becoming a chef.
Or perhaps you could take a gap year as a chef and if you decide it's not for you you can back to University and if you like it you can carry on.
Good luck whatever you do though.
