This is extremely hard and demanding work. I myself have a BA in Criminal Justice. I thouth that was what I wanted to do. In two years I went to Culinary School, CIA, I had previous experience before College. I cant tell you how many times I ve heard CIA grads come out of CIA and think they are the Gods in the kitchen.
School doesnt really determine anything.
Granted it does open some more doors. But so does determineation. I would think sinc eu have some experience that you cna just go to school now. Or work another year or two to get more money and try to get into the bigger name schools. Again the school u chose is depended on what u want to do.
