If I had it to do over again, I think I would have taken my 30 grand and gone to France for a year and then to Italy for a year, and I think I would have learned as much as I did in school, But………….Ya never know, so

Good Luck with that.

You would have learned more and got paid for it. Note when I was hireing if a fellow told me he worked here and there in Europe and could furnish proof of same. I would hire him or her over any culinary school student anytime , and looking back over the years I made the right choices and dont regret any.
