    Yeah, I think it is. It develops your skills even more and you get to learn from the pros. It doesn’t hurt to try enrolling yourself in one.

    If that is where your passion is, definitely follow it!
    I saw a segment on the news yesterday that with the increase of television culinary personalities, there has been a large increase in students graduating from culinary academies, more graduates than there are currently jobs for. Just be aware that your first few jobs may not be the 5 star restaurant that you’d hope for.

    My advice is to start by going to the local Employment Development Department(Work Office) or Public Library, where they should have government-published material about what kind of person is suited for this kind of work and what such activity entails, as well as about the number of jobs available in this field. Then you can take special interest, talent and other tests at, for example, a local community college career counselling center to provide you with further information about whether this is the right choice for you. In the end though, you must know if this possibity appeals to you and figure out whether or not you have what it takes to be good at it.

    If you have always wanted to become a chef, this is a good way to get some background in all the aspects of it including practical ones that show you how to plan menus, how to buy for a restaurant, how to create budgets, etc. There is much more to being a chef than just cooking. A lot of planning is necessary as well and it is best to be prepared before you jump in to any job.

    If you have never done any cooking and are looking for an easy way to make a living, skip it. This is hard work and you would have a lot of competition from those who are really committed.

    yes,if your going to work in a large establishment where you get the chance to use your skill,with smaller places it just seems to be,nose to the grindstone and not much chance for the flair of culinary art.
