>>convince me why I SHOULD go to either of those!

not to put a real fine point on it, but you were insisting they had to be "the best" because of the "degree" thingie - well almost, one does a diploma...

there are many options to learning basic cooking techniques and to expand your horizons beyond nuking frozen pre-prepared foods.

if you are counting on a degree to advance your (say it ain't so, reserve military career?) make sure it's from an accredited institution. no knowledge of your choices, but non-accredited institutions basically you mail them a check and they mail you a degree. folks be onto that.

otherwise I too am completely perplexed on the fixation to "have a degree" with no intention of ever professionally employing your qualification. up to you, I'm not paying . . . <g> nothing wrong with personal aspirations - so iffin' you want it, go for it.
