What do you think?

I know alot of my threads are kinda random or silly, but I was really looking for some input here.
For those of you who have gone to college, you know getting a degree is important... but I feel myself wanting to take a culinary arts course at my community college where right now Im taking classes towards transfering to a university so I can get a bachelors degree
But im seriously tempted. Im already behind on getting a degree due to my skill level at math, have to take remedial classes, so would a culinary arts course just to see if its something im good at set me back even further?

Math = Money
More Math = More Money

 

[fishwhistle]

hmmm,never trust a skinny cook so ya i say go for it!

hey urca, not sure what you're going to school for, but sometimes you have to take some classes that you just need the credits for and not so much needed for your degree, so maybe you could take some form of cooking or what have you and it wouldn't set you back so much...
taking an extra course and the credits that come with it is never a bad thing ime, so long as you think you could handle the extra work load, i'd say go for it.. i think it's a great idea to take classes that simply sound like something that you'd be into as it's a good chance to see how much you really like it without too much effort on your part..

I know a chef that makes $70k and I know one that makes $32k. Then there are the ones that study and work for the wealthy and travel the world.

If you can handle the math then the world is your oyster.

I honestly think this is the best plan i've heard from you-Go for it, cullinary school is a great idea , I would eat at a place you were the Chef once you gain some experience-

I went to school to learn how to pick fly shit out of pepper and separate salt from sugar. The money is fabulous!

Cook in restaurant see if your skin is thick enough. Do you grow weed? It is a great in to smoke out the staff...

In agreement with racerboy, take it, see if you like it. If I'm not mistaken, your school will have a policy of dropping classes after about 30 days and you'll still be able to get the money you paid for it back. You're still young right, don't feel like it's a waste of time, think of it more like you're testing the waters.

Plus, and I know you'll appreciate this, coming from a single guy in his mid 20s, a woman knowing how to cook decent food is really rare, a skill that I would definitely like my woman to have. It's not a requirement, but when I hear my friends who are girls bitch about cooking, it's a turn off. I cook all the time, you don't need to know how to cook to survive but it makes dates or hanging out much more enjoyable and personal, plus you save a lot of money. Things I think you'll start to realize a little later.

I would love to have my own place were I could do my stuff,
It would be 420 friendly just bring your own, I'd also have a coffee shop, pool table and a shuttle to take you home for a $.

 

[Urca]

Im kinda afraid to attempt it...

Btw, I know how to cook at a decent, homemade level... culinary school would just widen the flavors and techinques

I failed algebra twice. I can write extremely well but I cannot do algebra. I wrote a 1700 word paper last week in under an hour but it took me 5 hours to do 30 math problems. I need a tutor.

school is worthless in my opinion past regular HS its a business people selling u information essentially that is useless. the whole system of a curiculum is designed to make u spend money on things you dont need to know about lol. the wealthiest people i know dropped out or never went in the first place including myself. that is my 2 cents im sure i will get flamed for this because most of u probably spent 4 years there lol but you have to admit it makes sense

I think college is pretty bogus. For one, its cost has more than tripled. In order for anyone to attend a college, people must either apply for loans or drain their parents pockets. Two, colleges put out new "editions" of books every year to make it impossible for a student to get back at least a small percentage of the money they spent on their book. This assures more money for the college. Three, colleges are giving out loans to people who can’t afford them. People are getting out of college, not able to find jobs, and own 50,000 dollars or more in loans from their college. Four, a teenager fresh out of highschool is more likely to find a good paying job and work their way up to a decent wage. There are huge differences between working teens and students. The working teen is gaining money and valuable work experience while the student attending a four year college is getting thousands of dollars of debt with no work experience.

The statistics that these colleges put out that show the number of "employed students" after graduation FAIL to tell you that most of those employments are NOT the type of job they went to school for. For example, I know a girl who went into college for journalism. She graduated and obtained her master’s... she works at Applebees.

College is less about education and more about money money money these days.

I wish I understood that before I applied for the thousands of dollars worth of loans to go to school. Even though I'm doing quite well there is no garentee I'm going to be getting an administrative job.

Go for it Urca!! Better to find out what you like now before laboring through four years of a degree your heart isn't into.

This is exactly why you need math. There will always be a job read for a major that is heavy into math.
