I am looking for information from former or current students of Western Culinary Institute.I would like to know if you feel the education was worth the amount of money spent on tuition etc? How do you feel your education from Western has helped your career?

For goodness sakes, someone answer the man! And I'd also like to know :D

Every one I know says NO! TO ALL EXPENSIVE COOKING SCHOOLS! GO ROP! CITY! COUNTY! DON'T GO IN DEBT TO LEARN HOW TO BE A SERVANT!

"If I only would have known, I would have just started working. Now I have a HUGE loan to pay off and STILL need to get kitchen experience"

I overheard this from a grill cook at Zuni here in SF.

I am a new student at WCI. so far, I think its worth the money. I've worked in the field for 5 years and I've seen other culinary students from other schools. I've seemed to learn more in my first 6 weeks, than those guys knew in their externships.

On a porkypine the pricks are on the outside!!!!!!
