thanks stir,


I would love to beable to travel aboard but being, 27, married, and haveing responisblities really prevents that. but If I knew this is that I wanted to do back when I was younger I would have traveled and just learned.

No amount of schooling can replace real world expereince.

But Like Stir said. maybe work out a deal. Train for free then get paid for living expenses. Maybe ask the place for a 1 month free trial (so to say) then if they think you are worth have them pay you. If they dont want to eitehr continue to work for free or find another place.

From what I know in france, (alot of my chefs in school came or lived in france) said that you usually work for free for a while becuase you are gaining valuable expereince.

If you do plan to take this route. Think of it this way with pay. at least i do.

the better of the place the longer you work for free. Once you stop learning or feel you have learned everything. Move on.


So what is the situtation, such as money, living arrangments, length in europe etc....
