:Dan, This is not to answer your question, but to ask you one. I am looking into the chef school at Johnson and Wales and would like to have some input. I am 43yr and have always wanted to become a pastry chef and now that I am divorced I have the opportunity to expand my horizons. I will be working in a bakery/coffee shop starting in Jan, making bread, muffins, etc....I will be getting on the job training here...My dream is to someday have my own bed and breakfast/and/or catering business. If you can give me any insight I would really appreciate it..I am interested in the Norfolk, VA campus of J&W.
Thank you. I will look forward to hearing from you.
