Ramone’s Answer

Jaden! What's up my friend! In my opinion, Culinary Is a field that's all about practical experience, meaning hands-on, actually doing. A chef that started in the Dishroom can be as successful as someone who went Culinary Institute of America.

That said: I'd do HRTM - Hospitality, Restaurant, tourism and Management. Business Administration. And Marketing. And with today's landscape, maybe even social media marketing opposed to just classic marketing. And possibly a self-defense class while you're at it. I'm only half way kidding abt that. Hehe.

But the FIRST thing I'd do is get a job at a restaurant, learn as many positions in that restaurant as possible and always remember that EVERY SINGLE POSITION MATTERS. NOTHING IS BENEATH YOU. Listen more than you speak, take absolutely nothing personally and remember that some people are just born a-holes. Haha! But seriously. Good Luck!!!!

Dane’s Answer

Your career path in the foodservice industry truly hinges on your specific goals and interests.

If your aspiration is to master the art of cooking professionally, an associate degree in culinary arts or baking and pastry would be the most beneficial.

Should your ambition lie in creating innovative products for chain restaurants and grocery stores, pursuing a master's degree in food science would be the ideal route.

For those drawn to the healthcare sector, working in hospitals would require a degree in nutrition.

While managing restaurants or hotels does not necessarily require a degree, possessing a bachelor's degree in hospitality management could significantly accelerate your career progression.

John’s Answer

Good question, Jaden, and the answer is it depends on what you want. You can get a culinary arts degree to improve and document your knowledge and skills or like someone else suggested you can get a food science degree like I have and be a product developer and help make the products that are in restaurants or grocery stores. Or maybe you want to own your own restaurant and while you learn to cook by working in the kitchen, you can also get a business degree and one day own your own restaurant. There is not one clear best degree or knowledge to have because you need to know a lot to successfully run a restaurant and over the years you will learn - one way or the other - what you need to know. However, some lessons are harder than others. All the best!

Rich’s Answer

Jaden, How's it going in my opinion the most important thing is experience under a top Chef if possible. However a degree or 2 cant hurt. It is my feeling that culinary Arts, Culinary Science are two very important degrees, However in this day and age with all the allergies and dietary issues a degree in nutrition cant hurt.
Good luck in your future which ever you may choose
