Take some time to look at some schools in the U.S. first. Fill out FAFSA and apply for AS MANY scholarships as possible. If you have no work experience try to find a job for a semester. Pick a resturant that you might be able to use as a reference to help you with being accepted where ever you might go. Do your research, graduation rates, Alumni, instructors, cost of living, so forth and so on. Figure out what you are paying for. Is it just instruction? will the school help you get a good job after graduation? In your case, Do they have any Alumni in Paris, France where you can do an internship or "stage"
If you don't see yourself wanting any upper level management positions with some of the big buisness out there, do an apprenticeship. The degree is needed for most buisnesses if you want to move to upper level management posistions. Check out www.acf.org if you haven't already.
Picking a school is stressful b/c i feel like alot of the people i talk to from different colleges were once used car salesman. If the people i talk to are excessive with the phone calls, e-mail and letters i am cautious about that school. The school and its reputation should sell itself.
