you guys.



I really really want to go to culinary school instead of spending oodles of money stubbornly finishing an english degree that I will probably only use to pay for culinary school, if that. :/



(I do want to finish said degree, eventually, but OMG CULINARY SCHOOL.)


more on this angst later. work now :)

REAL LIFE. WHY ARE YOU NOT EASIER TO FIGURE OUT!?

[katilara.livejournal.com]

Seconded!

I was in pre-nursing last year...but my real passion is food. This yea I'm in Culinary school (for me it's a year program, so I'l halfway done) and I'm really REALLY loving it.

will you make me sweet and spicy chicken? cause then I'm all for it!


No really, I'm all for whatever makes you happy!

If what you really want is to be a professional chef, go for it!

But make sure you know what you're signing up for before you decide. I'm pretty sure pir8fancier would be willing to talk about her experiences. She used to be a professional pastry chef and could give you some good info on what you'd be letting yourself in for.

I recommend skipping finishing the English degree and going for culinary school. It's what you love, you're good at it and it makes you ridiculously happy.

And you know what the nice part about school is? There is usually a pretty generous amount of time before you have to retake classes, so you should have plenty of time to give the culinary thing a try without having to worry. (Also, dude - FOOD. ♥)

If you can envision yourself totally getting a career in culinary... why not? Very in demand field!

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

I want tooooo :/

thanks for the support, love. :)

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

I AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE COMMENTS. (yes, I have already read it :D )

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

I KNOWWWWWWWWWW. URGH.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

*nod nod* I just, I've wanted this since I was little. like, more than writing, more than teaching, more than *anything*. and tbh, watching you go for yours has kind of also made me wonder, "why not going for it, mel?"

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

hells yeah I will!!!

♥

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

*nod* I know it's going to be a lot of work and a HARD ROAD, which is why this is definitely not a decision I'm taking lightly. thanks for the advice!

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

:D

thank you for the support. ♥

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

it's truuuuue. part of what's weighing into my decision right now though it also whether I want to be stubborn and finish my degree AT BOWDOIN -- because it'll be significantly harder to do that if I take several years off to do cul. school.

ugh, money. so stupid.

(AND I AGREE. FOOD. ♥_♥)

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

I can totally envision that. and it's exciting. :D

[fadedsecret.livejournal.com]

Although be prepared to suffer the consequences (ie cuts and burns). I got 2nd degree burns on my wrist from my exam last week!

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

honey, culinary coursework or not, I've been in foodservice since I was 15. burn cream and I are beffies! :D
