Do you love or hate your culinary school/culinary profession? |
before my current profession I was suppose to go into culinary school and become a chef...it was before the hype and explosion of culinary stars and the food network...it's been almost 5 1/2 years in my current profession and I still aspire to join the culinary world..I've done my research and explored my options...I am considering going to California Culinary Arts of San Francisco or Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park,NY...I'm looking for opinons of the schools or the profession...thanks I love having a culinary background. I went to Florida International University in North Miami Beach and went into their Hospitality managerment program where youa re required to take culinary classes. 1st off, as a pro, the school is on the intercoastal. You are less than a mile from the beach and 20 minutes from South Beach. 2nd, the school has such a great rep. You should check it out: www.fiu.edu/hospitality I loved my culinary schooling but was saddened by the number of students who had never been in the industry. Many of them were so overwhelmed they didn't make it through the first semester. Those who hated it but stuck it out because it was paid for or they were afraid of their parents generally slowed down the classes with inane questions and lack of basic kitchen skills. It's a really hard job but if you are suited for it, it's the best job there is, so do yourself a favor and work in the industry for a couple of years and then, if you love it, go to the best school you can afford. Many happy years in the back of the house |
