: Currently I am looking at two schools. One is a culinary
: school in Chicago, and the other is a local two year
: vocational school. I can complete the culinary school
: in 8 months with certificate in Baking and Pastry arts,
: and complete the vocational school in a year and a
: half with an associates degree.
: My question is what difference, if any, will employers
: distinguish between the two schools? Will the
: Associates degree carry more weight?
: I'd appreciate any information I can get. And please
: feel free to e-mail me if you wish to offer any advise or
: encouragement.

I think you should look at an aprenttiship in a hotel or restaurant that has a pastry department . that way you can get real life experiance . I wished Iwould have done that my self. neil sheldon CPC
