Is Cooking School Worth It? Pros and Cons for Beginning Chefs
It is easier than ever to get started in the restaurant industry without going to school and many do so with great success some by luck and some by very deliberate pursuit of goals. The end game with or without school is to master your craft with the ability to choreograph your own team or operation one day. Will school help you get there?
Absolutely. That is why vocational schools exist. A school offers everything you need to learn in one place. Can you skip school and still achieve your ambitions? Absolutely.
Culinary school is generally a tiered system. It is rooted in a foundation to give you the foundation to build upon as you progress. The environment and pace are proven to maximize your abilities and exposure to the culture in a streamlined manner. Many programs provide the foundation for both sweet and savory career paths within the same curriculum without forcing you to choose one or the other from the start.
