: Am looking forward to going back to school for a career change. I am tired of being a receptionist, especially when I know I have talents in other areas. I would like to know step by step what to do. Like what school to enroll in, what do tuitions usually run, how much salaries generaly are, and what is the job market like for a top quality chef?
: I'm located in the Denver Metro area, are there any good schools in this area, or do I have to search elsewhere. Would appreciate any information that anyone could give me. Thank you
To become a top chef, allow anywhere up to 10 years. I don't know anything about schools , I just trained on the job but I started at 17.
The top certified chefs I chat with are all saying up 10 years but you can become a very good cook in a couple of years.
You might want to take a PT job in a kitchen to see if you like the action, its a different pace from receptionist, similar to going from Lawrence Welk to Jimi Hendrix.
