: else would be appreciated.
: Are there many fewer opportunities for 2 yr grads?
: If she already has a BA, how much grief would it be
: to roll everything into a 4 yr degree if the market
: for 2 yr grads is tough?
: How much of the 2 yr program would apply to the 4yr
: culinary degree?
: Are there any folks out there who know of any
: scholarships for this friend of mine (3.94 GPA)?

Any degree is the key to the New hire policy. Even if the degree is in Egyption basket weaving. Now do you have a track record of Quality Volume food? As an Exec Chef I will need from my Sous Chefs kitchen skills 50% and Management skills the other 50%. People skills is what the Industry is lacking and the employers are scared. They don't teach people skills in school. A Chef that has little to no turn over in staff and the STAFF is a happy group is lead by a TRUE Chef.
