I have worked in the biz for about 6 years now. I have done all the basics from dishdog to cooking on the line and am now interested in making it my career. I was wondering what I am going to have to go through to acheive my goal and what it is going to take to accomplish it. I feel that I am determined to go through with it, so much that I am ready to drop alot of money on a school to see it through. If anyone can offer me any tips or ideas on how to succeed it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Chefmanny,
Thanks alot. Do you have any recomendations on schools? I have looked at the CIA and J&W, but they all seem expensive for what I can afford. I have found several schools that have programs that teach from the Le Cordon Bleu, but they are only 1 year schools with 2 years of classes. Do you think that is a good idea? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kidd
