 Highest level of formal education Out of idle curiosity, what's your level of former education. I checked and was suprised anyone (university-wise) had offered a PhD.  That's a lot (and a bit much) in this industry don't you think? Then again it is in Hospitality Administration. I already know how far I want to go in this industry and what level of education is needed.

| In order of completion: B.A. in Speech and Dramatic Arts (minor in Comparative Literature -- French and Russian) M.B.A. in Management and Organizational Behavior A.O.S. in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management And much of what I learned getting the first 2 has helped me use the third to the best advantage.  |

| Well sheesh................Im almost afraid to post. (Yeah right  ) I noticed there wasn't an option for "some college". Im not embarrassed to say that I opted to work and take care of my baby first.  I can get my degree anytime but kids grow fast. It will also help that Im older now and actually KNOW what I want to do this time. Im going for an AOS in Restaurant Management. Until then......online college courses! There's no such thing as "too late".  I know a millionaire CEO who went back and got his GED......many years later.

| Good for you Shawty cat! And you are right they do grow fast and you ARE doing the most important thing you'll ever do in your life. Parenting an adventure that never ends.

 Why thank you Fodigger..  That's where I got my multitasking skills for my Exec Asst job. Anyone who can feed a kid, cook, do laundry, iron, help with homework, balance a checkbook, and paybills while changing a diaper can handle any job that comes along. I found work to actually be LESS stressful.  And for those of us out there who think its way too late to go to college......there is a thing colleges offer called credit for life experience. Ahhhh.....I can hear those wheels turning.Oops....gotta go. Have a baby to feed, merchandise to ship and a kid to pick up from Kindie. Whew.

 Thank you very much, SC!!!!!  But I don't think I did anything special. I ALWAYS post school-related questions. I am making a conscious effort to limit them, though. I'm a member of several message boards, foodie-laden and otherwise. This is by far my absolute favorite!

| Oh btw SC you can call me just plain ol' Jeff if ya like. I also answer to "hey you", "yo chef" and a few pet names my wife gave me that under NO circumstances will I ever reveal. It's bad enough she calls me it in the presence of my mom. Don't worry, it's a G-rated name

 HS Grad here... I was never a school person. My brother OTOH thrives in a classroom environment. The only thing I ever wanted to get out of a classroom was me. Then came cooking school. I was able to get valuable hands on lessons. I take after my father...If I can't learn it with my hands, I don't need to know it.

| Well, I guess I'm going to fall into the minority...I have no degrees just 3 years of stuggling attempts. I am proud of the fact that I began art school/college when I was a sophmore in high school because my art teacher took a special interest in helping me. I also won a scholarship in a national level competition (it was based on art, grades and a letter from a teacher).........but I blew it and didn't go to the school (Bradley)......then I won another scholarship for advanced study from the art school I was attending, and never finished. But my family life wasn't at all supportive during those years. I'd go to school in the morning and wonder if I would be homeless at the end of the day. AND I still haven't graduated from the school of hard knocks.....
