Culinary Arts School-?!
Have you been and if so, what was it like!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
You learn the basics of "Food Service" cooking!. I went to a 2 year school!. I thought it was fun!.
FYI: A restaurant will not hire someone as a chef right out of school!. Chefs are managers and run the business!. These jobs usually require at least 5 years of experience as a cook PLUS college!.
If you are interested in becoming a chef, I would suggest you get a job at a restaurant!. A lot of people hate restaurant work!. Its always good to find out BEFORE you waste money on a culinary degree!. I also highly recommend getting a bachelors in business or hotel and restaurant management AND an MBA in management!. People with all three degrees have an easier time finding the BIG $$ jobs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes - I went for four months and then decided to go city college and get my B!.S!. instead!. If you are planning to go, I would recommend looking at as many *nonprofit* schools as you can!. There are public colleges and universities, as well as nonprofit private schools, that offer degrees in culinary arts!. One of the best I can think of off the top of my head is The Culinary Institute of American!. I went to one of those two-year proprietary (for profit) schools that has NO admission standards whatever!. It was one of the most miserable experiences of my life!.

The school also offers continuing education for professionals in the hospitality industry as well as conferences and travel programs!."

I just graduated culinary school a year ago!. It was informative, but if you have 2 or so years of cooking experience it is unneccesary!. It basically teaches you classic technique that you may already know from work!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
