What steps should I take to earn a career in either culinary arts or game design?

Hello,

Individuals interested in a culinary career are often required to go through technical training at a culinary institute or a university that offers training in the industry. The length of training time required varies. Individuals interested in a starting level career may go through a nine- to 12-month training program and graduate with a certificate in culinary arts. Individuals who aspire for executive or sous chef positions may benefit from more exhaustive training, which typically takes 24 to 48 months and includes internship experience. Once an individual has a position in a kitchen, he is often required to put in a minimum of six months in the establishment before being able to apply for a higher position in the culinary hierarchy.

Various types of chef-related positions are available in both private and commercial sectors. In commercial restaurants and dining establishments, chefs are organized by function in a vertical hierarchy. Individuals interested in a culinary career may opt to focus on a variety of chef positions, including the role of executive chef, sous chef or line chef. Individuals interested in the private culinary sector may choose to become a personal chef who cooks and caters to a small, specialized customer base.
