YDI. In 99.9% of cases, culinary degrees are useless. I was reading an article not too long ago about what a farce they are, esp. for students who go into debt to finance them. Cost/benefit analysis fail.
the hospitality and restaurant industry is the third fastest growing field. have you noticed how many people are too lazy or over worked and don't want to cook for themselves and their families? so what do they do? they go to a restaurant. for the most part Culinary degrees help right now depending what exactly the degree includes.
The industry's growth prospects have nothing to do with it. Hospitality jobs aren't exactly known for their fantastic pay. Let me break it down for you: Student X borrows $50 000 to finance their culinary degree. However, upon graduation, they land a job that pays $15/hour. Without the degree, they'd make $12. The value the culinary degree adds is $3 an hour, or about $6000 a year. Keep in mind they had to borrow $50k (+ interest) to finance the degree. The discounted cash flows over their lifetime, even taking into account periodic raises, aren't that great in comparison to the initial investment. The only way Student X is going to see a good return on their investment is if they make it to Head Chef at a 5-star hotel (etc.). The number of 5-star chefs vs. the number of culinary school grads isn't that great. So basically, the student would've been better off spending that 50k on getting a degree that led to a career path with a high *average* salary. I.E. it would've been better to get a degree in business, law, eng, etc.
haha, what on earth do you say on your application? I'm sorry about that, though. Economy sucks. My dad, once owner of his own business, now manages a gas station... you'll find a way though.
You're a male...why the HELL do you have a degree in motherfuckin Culinary Arts...are you serious?!? Go get a real damn degree...
And that's pretty damn sad...because that's a woman's job.
Sorry, but YDI. Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you automatically get a job. The market is bad right now and who knows, you might have a lousy personality. Yes, it sucks, but your life isn't ******.
Probably because you went on and on in the interview about your ideas to "improve things."
maybe they already have enough cooks, smarts.
wow, thats really horrible. all the fine dining restaurants I know of (I work part time in a fine dinig restaurant to pay tuition, and so know the owners and owners of other buissness in the area), have head chefs with very good degress from the best possible schools, and who have studied all over the world! what crappy places have you been too?! OP. try to get into a better school, simple as that. I would suggest studying outside NA like France or Germany, they are known for turning out the best students, who will eventually get the best jobs

It has nothing to do with you or your degree, it's the economy. I've seen so many FML's that say "I have ___ degree and got turned down by ___ FML" It sucks, and FYL, but...we're all going through it.
It takes a lot to make an Angry Chicken. You have no idea, sir or madam.
