What an exciting career you are looking into! I have a few chef friends and some of the jobs they have held are working in a restaurant, run their own catering business, worked in a bakery, chef for an event hall, personal chef and teacher. You just have to find your passion within culinary and see what you love!

I started my hospitality career working for a luxury hotel. Hotels provide the training and exposure to multiple careers in culinary as well with providing great benefits, which is hard to find in that industry.

As with any major, there are several different career paths you could follow within culinary arts.
-Head Chef: This person would be responsible for overseeing everything going on in the kitchen and designing the menu. The average salary for this job is $50,000-$100,000 per year.
-Sous Chef: This person is second in charge in the kitchen, they hold authority over line cooks but are more hands-on than the head chef. The average salary ranges from $30,000-$50,000 per year.
-Private Chef: This type of chef will usually only work for one client, cooking all of their meals in their home for them every day. The average salary ranged from $40,000-$80,000 per year.
-Restaurant Manager: This person is in charge of monitoring everything that goes on in the restaurant outside of the kitchen. The average salary ranges from $30,000-$50,000 per year.

For degreed professionals, the employment landscape within the hospitality industry is vital and varied. Chefs can climb to prominent positions as supervisors and chef/managers within the kitchen, but management roles throughout the industry are also filled by professional chefs.
