Tracy’s Answer
In my opinion, a degree in and of itself will not get you a job. I have worked besides a lot of people in the same job as me who do not have a degree. It is you that will land you that job. A degree is just a piece in the overall package that you can offer a potential employer. But, they will hire you without a degree if you show up with true talent, passion and motivation for the work that they are hiring to get done. Getting a job is really about bringing experience to the game of employment. So the real question is how can you get the experience you need and showcase your work for others to attest to. Having experience and having people vouch for the quality of your work and your character is really what will land you a job and allow you to keep it.

Hi Harvey!
What a great question! I think the first thing to take into consideration is what type of career allows you to do learning and creativity, then after you decide on that, it's researching where you can have the most opportunities for jobs. I mention this because a lot of jobs anymore to get the most opportunities to do what you want to do are dependent on where you live or if you decide you want to move, where it is you are moving to. Also, it's very important to keep in mind is the more a specialty/niche career you want to pursue, the more difficult it will be to find a job of exactly what you want to do; not saying it's not possible because it is, it just will be a little tougher to find a job, along with any competition within your chosen industry.
I hope this helps answer your question, and I wish you the best of luck!

Just because you get out of school and you're feeling your muscles let's say kind of like Marines do after boot camp but the fact is you really don't know anything yet. You need to go out and earn respect for your craft you need to show that you can do the work and you don't have any say so at your age because there's somebody out there that's always better. Would you like to go up against chef Ramsay and tell him you know what you're doing? You need to understand you need to pay your dues so get a job where you can work inside this industry and earn your way up your degree doesn't mean a whole lot that just means you had to schooling now do you have the experience

Culinarians, yes you can get a job out of culinary school. Schooling is a foundation to a great career. Seek an opportunity where you have a leader who is the willingness to coach, teach, mentor, and develop you. Show ambition and the hunger to grow each day. As you grow, show the team that you the right candidate for the next promotion. Ensure you are able to do that job, even before getting there. This will help with your transition into the new position.
Ask for feedback on a regular basis. Post shift with yourself after each shift and ask yourself what could I have done differently or better today than I did yesterday?
Hope this small bit of insight helps and feel free to reach out for any more questions or concerns.
Best wishes to you all in your culinary journey.
