student debt for a fancy cookbook

it depends. i went to culinary school, did nothing with my degree for over ten years and am now putting together a business plan for doing baking and sugar work. if you don't go out on your own, your options are work for shit pay for a while, or if you're good, get picked up by a fantastic eatery for a good pay. grey areas are pretty rare it seems.

>switching from CS to culinary because lazy
woah op, ABORT

That's like asking if an art degree is worth it

>>8064822
CS and programming is the suicide of the soul, do not waste your life

>>8064822
Experience is better than any degree that money will buy in this field, I knew I wanted to be a chef from early on, I started part time after school working in a subway doing prep work cleaning the floors ect, then I worked my way up to sandwich artist, after a few years I got my break when a new Wendy's franchise opened in my town, I applied and was hired on as lead chef right at the beginning and I have been there for 4 and a half years now will a full staff under me, so no just be passionate and work hard forget the degree

>>8064822
yes.
thats a way to abstract question to answer generalized.
so, no.

>>8064880
Don't think I would get my eyes that close to an unbound crab claw.

>>8064822
the easiest way try a part time job as a kitchen helper. then you will know whether you want this.
P.S: if you dont have 100% passion for it, dont do it.

Thanks anons, will try to follow your advice

are you for real

I'm sure you have a lof of managing to do, any job is like that when you have to manage people anyway, but please dont say yo'ure a chef.

That's what I made for a dish job as well as a linecook job at a bar.
?m?m?
A cook could easily make $20, I don't know why you'd bother with culinary school anyway. I look at kitchen jobs as easy, plentiful, and with decent pay (depending on where you're at) with no real experience needed to get in and start moving up.
Get a dish job, move up to prep or cook, then quit because your coworkers are trash. If you stay, you might get up to sous chef, which would help you get a better job in a different kitchen.
The issues I've had in kitchens has always been coworkers, if there's healthy banter it's fine, but when everyone starts getting pissy I leave.

So a supermarket with chairs? subway doesn't even serve the meals, you pick them up at a counter

>>8064822
no. The culinary industry will kill your joy in cooking

>>8065085
Good dictionary work, buddy. But you're not a fucking chef. You're a kitchen manager.

75% of culinary school is cleaning, the other 25% is watching the proffesor cut a pig. Have Fun

It is for me cause if i never got my seal there would of been no way to get my certified chef de cuisine here in canada

>>8064822
dude

get your cs degree

THEN go pursue that cooking dream.

your mind right now is suited for the CS. get it while you still can.

>>8066728
This. Do three years in the industry and realize how much it sucks then go get a cushy dev job. I put aside a degree in IT to do what you're thinking and it was a hell of a lot harder getting my foot back in the door there without finishing college.
