Pete....good find! 

Now maybe some of these dreamers won't believe the recruiters when they are told they will get them an exec chef position making 100 grand a year straight out of school.

Very nice article ... interesting how they only targeted Le Cordon Bleu affiliated schools though due to the fact that the other culinary colleges out there are charging the same rates that those colleges are and lets face it recruiters from my experience are about the same the world over ... their bonus depends on how many people they can get to sign on the dotted line, any college that charges those types of prices and tells someone that they will be a chef or will be making the "big bucks" as soon as they get out of college is lying their a$$ off.

 

In any technical/hands on field experience will trump education pretty much every time and paying I think they said $43,000 for a certificate is insane and is still to much for an associates degree in my opinion.
