- Start date
There's plenty of places you can work. I've heard some stories about how hard it is to get into casinos from the Chefs at school. I know places like The Bellagio will even disqualify for family felonies.
How much did it cost you all together
Where I went it was 31k. Place like Culinary Institute of America can run upwards of 60k.
I am not sure how old you are, but I got a late start on this. If I had started younger I would be farther along and better known. I'm about the level of chef you would see on Chopped. I was one of the best students in school and got opportunities to work for some of the top chefs in town and learned a lot. I've had some of my recipes featured at events by the Chefs at school. But I took it serious. I didn't half ass it any step of the way. Even though it is hard work and sometimes long hours for not much pay the feeling of making a good meal and having people tell you it's one of the best things they ever ate make it all worth it. It's a great career and when people find out I'm a Chef I get so much respect. I can't even count how many times I've heard from people I've always wanted to go to culinary school. Cooking is an art form and can be very rewarding. I only recommend it if you have a true passion for it though.
are good grades required for scholarships there?
Nope they take anybody who's willing to pay. I didn't get any scholarships and am paying for it all from loans and I was fortunate enough that my job has a tuition reimbursement program that paid back 6k of it. It's pricey, but I learned so much and it was definetaly worth it.
Double Post.
Oh ite thats good stuff. So you have to pay the money upfront then you're in?
Thing is, since culinary school is way shorter than a 4 year degree, you dont have as much time to save up cash to pay bacc the loan once u graduate right?
No upfront money. Then once you complete you start paying back after 6 months. Then it's monthly fees.
Ite
hopefully my stint at the collge i was at doesnt affect any financial aid for this school or watever
It shouldn't as long as you are paying on your loans.
I aint get a loan i paid for the collge out of poccet and ended up getting a govt grant a couple weeks after school started
im going for Culinary, now.. just finished all my Gen. Ed, and starting this semester, for the next year I'll be doing strictly Culinary..
i get grants, and took out a small loans(mainly because I moved to NC randomly).. as for the Culinary program, you have to maintain at least a C average to even be in it, and maintain no less than a C in all the classes(i got a 3.7, so Im good
), not to mention theres a serious waitlist..
if you can cook, I'd suggest it.. alot of people think their gonna go and learn how to cook..thats only one portion of it..
as for work, it depends on how much you apply yourself.. but one things for sure- people will never quit eating..
