: i'm considering changing careers but the starting salary
: for a culinary arts school graduate is close to
: $50,000 less than my current salary. i'm interested
: in hearing from others who made a similar career change.
: i'd like to hear your thoughts on how you're surviving
: financially and whether you have any regrets. i know
: that no one goes into this business for the money but still...
: i'm single so i have to consider my future and my
: ability to support myself!

: thanks for your time......

Its VERY rare that a starting culinary grad will make $50,000,
more like $27,000 with some experience. The average college starting grad.
will only make $25-32k a year. \

Now with YEARS of experience and culinary education you can make
$50-$125k++ A person needs to be Executive Chef, Corporate chef,
Development chef, Master(certified)chef or Charlie Trotter !!!.
A high volume hotel or restaurant,( 10million +) employment would
help also.
