Right now, in the Culinary World out there, you cant get anywhere with out a Bachelors. Associates doesnt get you anything. I took courses over the summer at J&W. And one of the chefs said if you get an associates, dont plan on going much farther then sous. Or something along those lines. It would be a smart choice to go for your Bachelors rather then associates. Itll be worth it later down the road. And i dont mean to sound like im an upstart. But thats just what i would do.

I hope i helped you out some.
Once again, CIA does offer a bachelor's degree in culinary arts. As to how far you can go in the culinary world with only an associates, it's really up to the individual and their inherent intelligence, talent and drive. It doesn't necessarily depend on the level of education. The foodservice industry is still very much a meritocracy. That J&W chef is telling you otherwise most likely because it benefits J&W.
