I'm doing a certificate program and i see no shame in it. I've been working in the food field (starting in pizza and management) for 6 years now. Now I'm a cook at a chain restaurant. And from this experience I'm building new ties and connections to people who have worked at various places always willing to give me advice and help. I'm going to build on this with hopefully working for a hotel chain somewhere...keep building ...bigger and better and I go along. Maybe someday at my own pace get a business degree but I'm not in any rush.
so it depends on what you want..ultimately I think experience and connections are much more valuable than an actual culinary degree..they are expensive and us cooks don't live a glamorous life. |
