Culinary school is like everything else in life, you receive on how much effort you put forth. CIA is a topped ranked culinary school and expensive.
Culinary arts is an hands on profession.
Two years will only get your feet wet. I find the best chefs, have ten years plus experience and training. I suggest taking college courses on English, accounting, business math. Read at least two hours a day on our profession. Never get too good to learn something new.
