Sweetchefchel,
I do not quite understand what you men by the 20's and 30's.
If it's the price.. Iam paying $22K.
The school just raised the prices probably another $7K.
Good luck in your searches

Hey D & Anneke,

The only class you do not get a report to do in is math. All the others you do some kinda report. Wait till you get into the resturant class ( I think that was the most important project/report I did in school.).

Anneke, do not underestimate that 30 yr only teacher. Remember that teacher is prob. involved in a lot of on campus caterings. The teacher also has had many chef pass through her class who she is still in contact with.

Good Luck to you both, Have fun.

D.Lee

Danielle,
The rep said that WCI's student's average age was late 20's early 30's and that surprised me. Also she said 95% come from out of state.

hey there chefteldanille,

thanks for inviting me to join your descusion.

the bigest peice of advise that i can give you is, that you will get as much out of it as you put in to it. the most important thing is that you really love what you are doing. not everybody will make an A in every class, but as long as you fill like you have done the best that you could you are most likely on the right track. also remember that knoladge and wisdom are not the same thing. school can teach you knoldge but only expereince can teach you wisdom.

ps just have a lot of fun

Hey there Chefteldanille. I started my culinary course four weeks ago and I love it to. Pretty full on though as already aswell as being in the kitchen we are doing meat training, pastry training and waiting/bar training. It's all good though.
