Chefs usually have a very low education level, and they disrespect those with more education. To truly understand cooking, you have to understand science because cooking is a scientific process. Even culinary school teaches shallow understanding regarding cooking. Chefs ONLY know the process of cooking, but they really do NOT know what is really going on.

Nobody spends all that money and time to go to culinary school to work for someone at $15 a hour. The end goal is to open your own restaurant. So you can cut out your idiot boss/owner thats profiting off your cheap labor. You either go to a established school or apprentice under a very reputable chef (assuming they even want your ass). You do this to network and also make a reputation for yourself. Also you can learn not only cooking but the business aspect of it too.

I started cooking in my first restaurant at the age of 18. I needed a flexible schedule so that i could get my degree in CIS. I learned very quickly that sitting behind a desk looking a computer all day is not for me. The rush of a printer that never stops on friday and saturday night has been my drug if choice for the last 20 years. In those 20 years of working the industry I have worked alongside and/or supervised probably 25 Culinary School grads. Of those 25, about half couldn't handle it. Weed out on an average Wednesday night and then walk out on a busy Friday night. Some didn't know how to improvise when we ran out of something. Others insisted that there was only one way to make something. Remember kids... There are 1,000,001 ways to make a pot of chili. And every single one is wrong. Personally, I have never been to culinary school. I know what I know from some great chefs and the good old fashioned on the job training. I have nothing against those that have or that want to. Remember, school does not make you great at this job. Desire, drive and passion do. Maybe a little insanity mixed in there. The desire to WOW people with every single plate that leaves the kitchen. The drive to constantly push yourself to make the perfect plate. And of course the passion for food. To anyone out there that is actually reading this, you have to remember two things about this business: 1) No job is beneath you. Even though I am the Executive Chef, I still get in the dishroom and bust out the dishes better than most dishwashers I have ever had. If you get sent to shuck oysters, you do it with a smile and become the best oyster shucker in the restaurant. 2) I have lived by this one since high school... Be kind to others on your way up or you will meet them again on your way back down. Best of luck to everyone.

you are correct. I can't stand working with chefs that can't improvise. improvisation is a huge part of being a good chef. you can't let yourself be limited creatively just because you lack certian ingredients. you have to be able to improvise, adapt, and overcome, quite often in kitchens. hell at home my gf and I were making burgers realized we had no buns and NO money. but we did have ramen noodles. so I decided to try frying the ramen in the saute pan. I broke it in half and crisped it up. it got golden brown and super crispy and they had enough body to support the hamburger patties nicely. they added an extra level of texture and crunch to our burgers which was surprisingly nice. absolutely delicious. try it sometime you will not be displeased. people want to say that they need or only use the most expensive and best ingredients, that is not what makes a great chef, the ability to take the crappiest and cheapest ingredients and turn them into a delicious meal is what I feel makes a great chef. anyone can take a piece of Kobe beef and have it taste good but if you can make a cheap basic cut of meat become a tasty awesome meal then you have done something truly special. not every chef is able to do this. plus my gf n I have been so broke that we would resort to dumpster diving for or food. we wouldn't take stuff that seemed unsafe to eat but what we would keep she n I would turn into awesome meals. we'd invite people over for dinner and would let them know b4 hand that it was from a dumpster. they'd be hesitant at first but once they took a bite that hesitation would disappear. but I digress, next time you decide to Burger it up try frying up some ramen as the buns. it's really neat.

I enjoy the rush I become very focused when under pressure my goal is to become an executive chef myself right now i am a kitchen manager. But when it comes to many of the kids that went to school alot of them Crack under pressure because one thing school doesn't teach them is how to deal with a weekend evening rush. Many chefs have told me just keep asking questions and the more you learn the more you grow the more you grow the more you get paid. I feel you just have to have a true passion for what you do and for sure never ever forget where you came from.

Culinary student at one of my local colleges and I've learned that there's a lot more to becoming a chef than what I had thought. If you want to enter this field, you need to learn that it isn't about the money but the passion. Being a chef is a lot more difficult than people think; standing on your feet all day, sweating in a hot kitchen, being yelled at...some may think, that's not worth it for what you make! If you're truly passionate, then those things won't matter to you.

I went to culinary school. I was attracted to the food industry because of the Food Network and shows like Top Chef. It seemed glamorous. Holy fuck was I wrong. It's a grind. If you're thinking about going to one of these schools or into the industry, just now you need to absolutely love cooking. In regards to the the technical aspects of cooking, individuals can probably learn as much reading high level cook books. What books can't teach is the experience of the line. My culinary school tried to establish the controlled chaos you would experience in a restaurant but nothing can compare to the real thing.

$60,000 is a very good wage if you are single. I take it these kids in this video still live with their parents. If you can't live comfortably off 60k you suck at managing money. Simple as that. And also, before you go to culinary school. Get a line cook job first/dishwasher job like I did and work your way up. See if you can handle a rush, 20 plus tickets flying out and people screaming at you for the food. I worked in a fine dining restaurant with no schooling started off as a dishwasher and worked my way up quickly. We had culinary grads at my work but they couldn't handle the pressure so they gave me more opportunities because I could. TV glamorizes it and you have to love it and be able to handle stress very well. It's a lot of fun and it can be glamorous at times but you gotta be willing to work hard first.

+Marcus Savina oh and btw lets do some math together, now I know cooks/chefs put more tha 40 hrs of work together in a week around 50 to 60. For the sake of these calculations lets use 50 could be more or less. so 52 weeks in a year multiplied by 50 is 2600 hrs of work. 60 000 which is a decent salary and perhaps near the top earning at a restaurant, divide 60 000 by 2600 = 23.07. So roughly speaking they're making around $23/hr which is by no means an average salary. now this is all in specualtion assuming they're on a fixed income, if they are receiving and hourly wage lets be honest and say $18/hr plus over time lets do some more math will start with 40 hours a week multiplied by 52 and separate another 10 hrs a week for overtime multiplied by 52. First calculation 40hrs×52 weeks= 2 080, second calculation 10hrs×52 weeks= 520. Now 2080×18=37,440, overtime calculations assuming its time and a half so $27×520=14,040. We will now add the salary together keep in mind we didn't do holiday pay which is usually double salary or taxes depending on where you live, total of $51,480 a year at $18an hour. Now in most places in america and canada for the cost of living this is a decent living not to mention if you have a spouse working you increase your household net income as well. So in all fairness this is definitely beyond average salary.

2 years ago I attended the culinary program at the Art Institute International in Minneapolis for about 15 weeks before I dropped out. I was learning useful things that have stuck with me since, throughout my career, but the most learning has come on the job since I've dropped out, and it's the kind of stuff they simply can't teach you in a school setting. I think the fact that culinary schools are often for profit is rather tragic. The Art Institute International felt more like a business than an institution of higher learning, and every day we'd get another sales pitch for the education we were receiving within the same breath, and by the time I left I felt duped. If you want to work in a kitchen, get a job as a dishwasher at the nicest place you can find and work your way up. Show interest in the cooking. Ask people what they're doing. Ask if you can help. The truth is that food is endlessly fascinating and even the most experienced chefs among us can learn things.

absolutely. a lot of fresh from school chefs are not open minded because their teachers told them that this method is the only correct way and if you do it any other way you are wrong. which is ultra shitty. you need to be creative, passionate, and always willing to try new techniques and expand your creativity and knowledge. if you are unable to do this you will never reach your maximum potential and ultimately limit your ability to better your skills and advance your career. no one wants an uncreative know it all chef who is unwilling to change. generally that is death for a restaurant. I've also noticed over my 20+ yrs cooking that classically trained chefs tend to be bosses not leaders. which I absolutely detest. my biggest thing when I'm running a kitchen is to never be a boss but to lead your team. especially to lead by example. if you can keep your team's moral high they will be far more productive and definitely more creative. which makes all the difference.

A persons drive determines their worth not the education they have. Education helps, without a doubt. However there are people graduating with masters degrees in literature or philosophy and are unemployed. I went to culinary school. I paid my dues by working 2 jobs while in school. Not the story you paint of “Mom and Dad”. My education gives me the tools, my drive allows me to succeed. Chefs with an education sweat just as hard, bleed just as red, and cry just as emotionally as those without one. Being a chef takes balls so please do us a favor and show some exceptional chefs from both sides of the table. Thank you.

Too many people on here keep saying "it's not not worth it just work your way up from *insert random low level position*". Culinary school is by far worth it and you shouldn't let some KZitem video and a few commenters with 0 experience as an actual chef tell you otherwise. First thing you need to understand is THE MONEY IS THERE. Yes, the average is 40-50k for a chef...from a small community college program. If you go to the Culinary Institute of America, ICE, or Le Cordon Bleu you will make far more. With a degree from a high tier school you can work for a Cruise Line, Hotel/Resort, or a Michelin star level restaurant where you can easily achieve a salary of 100k. Your career depends on how much you put into it. Line work at a restaurant with no experience at a Culinary program will be slow and you'll constantly be under someone's command. As a Chef you are the one in command. I do value line work, and I believe everyone should start somewhere, but if you plan on doing anything with your life beyond working at a mom and pop restaurant or a Chili's I'd suggest you at some point look into going to a school. It's expensive but very much worth it. Never give up on your dreams!

I graduated culinary school in the early nineties. Was it worth it? I have 2 ACF certificates a full 2 year culinary education. It cost me about 1000 bucks total. For me yes worth it. Would I tell people to do it today? Heck no. Not unless you really have a desire to do it and a plan to succeed in the industry. Sure 1 guy from school became the exec pastry chef at the Rio in Vegas. Most of us make 40- 60 k a year. Don't get me wrong I'm happy. Its taken a long time to find a job that will support my family. Thank God they toughed it out threw the 14- 16 hour days, no weekends off, work every holiday. I work at a hospital now and I feel like a human being again. I must also say that 90% of the things I know I learned on the job. School was a great recourse. It gave me the tools to find out what I needed to know to make my bosses happy. It kept me out of the dish pit (unless the dish washer didn't show up). Cooking is now my hobby and passion and as a restaurant cook it never was. I make bland dash diet food for sick people (at work). Now that I cook for fun again at home and have the time to do it. Its become what I always hoped it would be. A creative outlet and an homage to the food tradition of my family. I could have done that as a plumber or a post man. Its taken years to become the chef I always wanted to be. Its for the people I love and care about the most now my family. Go be a chef do it! Just know what your getting yourselves into and love it to death. If you do you might be the 1 percent that makes it. Good luck and God bless you guys.

I think the US version of cordon blue only had 1 campus and they weren't certified at the time. It just wasn't a popular thing at the time. Now days schools charge what they can get away with. Back when I went to school the going rate for a trade school was 12 bucks a unit, 12 units a semester, 4 semesters. Had a few lab fees and some book fees and that was it. If anybody does decide to go threw school make sure they pic an ACF school. It will ensure you can get all the cool letters on you jacket when you pass the tests. You will also get an education in business accounting, nutrition, food sanitation, catering, production cooking, restaurant management, etc. Its a much broader form of schooling rather than just the labs. Good luck and God bless.

great topic i went to 2 culinary schools. first one was more like a high school diplomain singapore(where im from) and the other an asso degree(@ johnson & wales USA) (i never finish because i feel that i would be spending too much) my only reason to go for my 2nd culinary school is to find better opportunity after school. its more about having a great start in your career than to work up the ranks the hard way. yes u have to start at a place everyone once were, a fry cook, but with the basics the school has thought you through will take you to places faster than many. the pay may not sound much but imagine the food already provided free or heavily discounted. u will also learn to shop better and be more cost effective. it is a skill set taken for granted at a low pay. (btw, i have seen chefs with 100k pay per year)

i went to shatec which leads u into hotels (mostly 5 stars) to work in. sunrise gives to better follow up into johnson & wales university (which i went to even with my shatec cert.) ITE is very looked down but doesn't mean they are all bad. the polytechnic which i think u are eyeing on is by cordon blu which is a good school too and a good start if u are still unsure if it is the right path (switching is easier there than the more dedicated ones) i can't really say which is better because there is a lot of competition. overall these are my view points and may defer to others. ultimately only u can be your own driving force no matter which school u go to. in my class only about 40% of the class are in food related work places and thats considered pretty high. after 5 years since grad.

I took culinary. It is a rewarding and well sought career. Now i took nursing. Reason it didnt end well for someone like me. 1.) its hard to get a line position unless you start as a dishwasher or server 2.) most people working in the field are latin, and you have to learn to speak spanish to earn their trust. 3.) working in any restaurant attached to a hotel is a no no. Doesnt pay well. 4.) they give you a lot of overtime and alot of night shifts 5.) alot of colorful characters that will piss you off. 6.) you have to have the fortitude to handle the intense heat, rush, frustration, migraine, and you will be yelled at and cursed at more than you can handle. My advice to be in that industry, you are either the boss or working part-time. You will go mad crazy. Build a level of fortitude, youd be there with a clear mind, pay suk unless you work in the line for 16-17, anything less is crap.

Food is a love language for me, I've loved cooking all my life. It's been the center of my home and a way for my neurodivergent self to find a medium to communicate that everyone can appreciate. To me it's a measure of civil service, a way to finally be able to present my obsessive self in a way people can appreciate. Culinary school may never be worth it on the books, but it's one of the few courses that can teach you a more advanced iteration of a basic life skill that you can use every day for the rest of your life. I cannot say the same for a lot of other desirable degrees or certs I've considered. I will definitely be going to pursue some manner of culinary education just because I genuinely want to better myself and my ability to connect with people by perfecting these things. It's art, science, and precision - but the human element is very strong at the center of its concept. It takes so many shapes - from the history of the recipe, the inspiration of the cuisine, to the farmers and vendors, to the people you serve and your team. It is by far the most compelling to me rather than dryly pursuing an accounting degree and making six figures. Live life to LIVE!

2 things 1. If you are willing to dish out $60k+ for a culinary education. You're doing it wrong. Education is WAY more expensive in the US than in Europe or anywhere else. 2. There is a drastic difference from getting a diploma/certificate, getting an Associates degree, and getting a Bachelors degree. These guys are quoting the bachelor/masters degree paths. Even taking that into account, you're still spending LESS than a state school, AND you are completing your Bachelors in 3 years instead of 4. Plus, you aren't wasting a quarter of your tuition on Gen Eds/stuff that won't aid into your career. 3. If a culinary school offers intern/externships (which SHOULD be a dealbreaker for you), those internships are likely paid. This means you're earning money back, gaining on the job training, and you don't have the "haughty graduate stench" that most workplaces despise. You'll have tangible work experience that puts you ahead of most other new graduates. 4. This is a bit hopeful, and maybe I' wrong, but a LOT of careers have been grossly misrepresented in today's society. Most people can think of what the conventional chef makes, but I challenge you to look at what an UNCONVENTIONAL chef makes. You've got your convential restaurant chef/restaurant chef owner, but what about: The gourmet food truck guy? The catering business that does events/weddings with a small team of 4? What about the traveling chef? The Maritme chef (because EVERY position pays more when you are on the water)? Did you know that Google/Facebook/Amazon hire chefs for the onsight tech employees and pay them HANDSOMELY? Somebody must've cooked that dish for the first-class passenger on the plane/train, right? How about dietary consultants/nutritionists? Did you know that E-Sports teams hire CHEFS??? BECAUSE I DIDN'T!!! How about we get EVEN MORE abstract... Look up "Molecular Gastronomy." What do they do? What is the "conventional path" for them? Do they have a defined job description/position title? Does their job EXIST (by conventional means)? Other than espousing a comprehensive list of potential ideas within the culinary industry (that doesn't have anything to do with being a hospitality business dude), I wanted to give a SURFACE level glimpse of the possibilities that one DOESN'T see. I'm certain that this branching path exists in many other fields. The problem is that most people within said fields have never been exposed to or could never have even conceptualized these possibilities. It's like a being on a 2-dimensional plane only seeing a 1-dimensional cross-section of a 3-dimensional being. Perspective culinary students, I hope you take this into heart. Thank you for listening to my Ted-Talk. Also, if you are within a different career and have read through this essay of a comment, I implore you to do your own research into your respective field. Maybe you'll find something deeper, OR maybe you'll find a gap that you can fill. Value is often monetarily rewarded.

Part of my curriculum is learning how to effectively run a business, so while i may make less than 40k as a pastry chef for, say, 10-15 years, I one day plan on owning a restaurant or bakery, and will certainly make more for the remainder of my career.

As someone with good insight into the range of culinary education options in America, I have six comments: 1. While the video narrator paints a negative picture of culinary school, the actual students appearing in the video paint a more positive picture. 2. This video and article make no distinction between "better" culinary schools which may be worth going to, and others, where based on results, there is less return on investment. 3. This video and article make no distinction between associate degree culinary programs which cost more and take longer, and diploma programs that cost less and can be completed faster. 4. The video and article have out of date statistics. Fact is, as of 2015, culinary school enrollment has stopped growing. At the same time, as Eater has reported, there is a national shortage of cooks, chefs, pastry professionals and restaurant managers. Never in our history has it been easier to get a fast start and rise faster in the field. 5. The concept of comparing culinary school with a year of college for "value" is odd. That's because so many culinary programs, particularly diplomas, can be completed in a year, while college takes FOUR years. There are 1000's and 1000's of professionals across America who tried college, didn't finish, and went on to culinary school to happily establish their career. 6. Lastly, we are reading bizarre and decidely less professional journalism when Eater could publish this article and video on 1/29/16 without addressing the fact and factors that led the Le Cordon Bleu schools to announce just one month ago that they would be closing down.

if you are passionate and determined and continue to grow your skill set the opportunities will arise. if you are capable of creating delicious and creative meals people will begin to take notice of you and believe me I've been cooking for 20+yrs now and have been able to Garner a great reputation in the restaurant industry in my city for making amazing food. it's to the point now that when I last applied for a job the KM already knew me and what I'm capable of doing, while I was filling out my app he came up to me and told me to just put my name on the top and had me go back into the kitchen and make him a meal for his lunch. he wanted to see what I could do because he had heard of me but never had the chance try my food. so I went into the back and prepared him a cinnamon and brown sugar glazed pork tenderloin with an apple and onion compote and fresh pan seared green beans with crushed garlic white wine and shallots simple but super tasty dish. I've been making this dish at home for my gf for years so I've gotten the flavors down pat. he took 1 bite and said I'm hired and that he wanted me to run this plate as the special for the night. we sold 40+ plates of it that night and the following week he put it on the menu permanently. my point being be creative, don't be afraid to try new things constantly, and never stop learning as much as you can. it's very hard and takes time to get a positive reputation in this business, but it is incredibly easy to get a negative rep in this field. and once you get a negative rep it's very difficult to change people's opinion of you if it's negative

It is the same here in Australia, putting yourself through school & even upon qualification a chef is still paid lowly. A newly qualified carpenter gets paid a lot more than a newly qualified chef. Not only is the financial cost is high but also the loss of good friends, missing out on family time, unusual social life, long hours, rampant dug use to deal with the stresses, split shifts, once you do the job of two people - sometimes expected to do the job of four, effected relationships, high expectations & the emotional cost etc... is worth it to still be a chef?

no one asked if you got into culinary for the money, rather it's a question that addresses the skill you are learning relative to the impact you make to society, and how it's valued in school versus the job market. from statistics shown, it's a hard NO. There's definitely a sign of taking advantage of a movement/trend (tbh, chefs today are "rockstars"). on a sentimental note, typical answer is "it depends on the person"

With tighter regulation from banks now for privatized loans, how do prospective culinary students even land loans? Banks know what potential salaries are aligned with the careers their clients will be studying. From experience, when my wife committed on becoming a physician assistant some years back and decided she needed to take a loan- the bank had a multitude of questions she had to truthfully answer- much of it revolving around how she would pay them back. They weren't too worried about it because P.A.'s get paid decently but how does it go for future chefs making $40,000 while taking on massive loans that rival med or law school? Just curious.

If you are paying for college all on your own I say you should second think it, try to work in the field first, join a Culinary association you can find great connections and mentors through that as well. If you are receiving a full ride whether by scholarship, financial aid or your parents are willing to take on the load I say go for it. Culinary school is a major push up and can be a guide you'll remember you're entire life. Also, I want to add that you do not have to go to a big name Culinary school you can find a college in your city or close to you that has a Hospitality Management major that focuses in Culinary. They teach the same things and you can also learn things on Lodging, Travel and Tourism as well and it's so so so much cheaper in comparison.

I'm enjoying my work, but I don't think il have to attend a school. with Plumbing it's the same you MIGHT have to go to school to receive technical training, but if a company is looking for workers they will train you themselves so you'll save time and money. It depends on the career path you'll attend. Always ask people who have been in the industry for a while and so they can tell you what they did, what they wish they have done and what you MUST never do under any circomstances

As a chef in the industry for the past 14 years, I have seen good and bad cooks come from school and also whom didn't have an education. I think graduated culinary students are blind sighted about the realities of the industry, one of those being the lack of compensation for the amount of hours put in. Is culinary school worth it? I don't think so; also having gone to school it was through real work experience that I felt I truly became a chef. Fornately for me I didn't have to pay for my education. My advice for those looking to join the industry? Find a chef who's actually doing something and apprentice. That's the fasted way to pursue your passion without the hefty price tag.

I realized the highest possible income when I was 19..two years later I'm in municipal government making 65k. I want to go back, but at this point I'm in a position to start thinking about starting a small business.

Holy smokes... Im Canadian and I went to my community college for my culinary program I only paid about 3,000 for my first year. It costs about 2,000 for second year and only 1,000 dollars for third year. That's a total ripoff for them to charge anything over like 5,000 per year.

Tools to master your craft. Learning from industry professionals. Why did you start in the first place. Not to work for someone else but pursue your God giving talent your love and product will shine. A famous movie quote if you make it they will come.

I want to be a pastry chef (A baker)! I'm okay with being paid 17 or 18 dollars an hour since that WILL get me through my payments, I will be working for 8+ hours a day when I am one.

Studied in culinary school only cost me under 2.000 dolars for 3 years and we can make about 2.000 - 8.000 per year (for fresh graduate) to work in my own country and even more abroad.. I live in Indonesia.. The school that I was going to consider very cheap althought it has name and credibility that have recognize in south east asia.. But even the expensive one wont cost more than 10.000 dolars per year.. So I think it may vary from one country to another..

Man. I'm in 11 standard now. I want to become an executive chef. I'll definitely be one. Even if it requires a lot of hardwork I'll do. But I want some more information about the studies. Like after passing 12 what to do.?

Saying that going to culinary school is pointless because you can learn it working is like saying that going to trade school is pointless because you can learn it in the field. Granted it is true but at culinary school you can learn the best techniques that most people don't have the skills to teach you. I am currently a student at the culinary institute of America and there is no doubt in my mind that this is the place to go to learn how to *properly* cook. This college doesn't doesn't just teach you how to cook it gives you the know how to succeed in the industry with skills and connections to do so

Pretty much every chef I have asked about going to CIA has told me it's a waste of money. You can learn pretty much everything on the job. It will almost definitely help you get a better job faster, but the $ make it insane to even consider. It will be a lot harder if you don't go to culinary school in the beginning, but ultimately you will have a better foundation working from the bottom up in an actual kitchen (depending on where you work). That's why I'm not going. Just go to the very best place you can, start at the bottom, work your ass off, and in time you will be really good, with out paying anything. Also you will get a way better feel for how you fit into the industry, cuz it's really not for everyone.

You could do this and earn a wage just by working in a kitchen and working your way up, if you want to go to culinary school I'd recommend first going to see if there are any kitchens offering jobs near you, chances are you're going to get a far better education and you'll get it while being paid.
