Hi Nikira,
There are as many reasons to pursue a culinary degree as there are people pursuing them. And while your reasons may not be the same as anyone else’s you all have one thing in common: the passion for creating memorable culinary experiences.
Here is a list of the top 5 reasons to pursue a culinary degree:
Excitement
Chefs work in a fast paced and ever-changing environment. In addition, chefs can express their creative side by creating new dishes and presentation styles. Do you like to cook and create art? Well, a career as in the culinary industry just might be your calling.
Hands-On Training
In culinary school, students can receive competency-based training that stresses fundamental cooking methodologies. This practical training is essential for students to learn from doing and not just from books and lectures.
Instruction
Most instructors at local classes and schools are seasoned professional chefs who actively work in the industry, bringing real-world experience into the classroom. Having “been there and done that” dedicated instructors work to prepare students for the real world challenges of working in a professional kitchen. Whether you look online or in a local newspaper, you can learn from the best.
Freedom
Whether you want to travel, work in a resort or start you own business, there are many possibilities with a career as a chef and the right skills and experience.
Job Availability
Even when times are tough in the economy, people still need to eat. Although people are eating out a little less, it does not mean you cannot thrive in the food service industry. Everywhere you look there are restaurants.
