You have to learn how to respect your time, and how to use it properly. Understand that all good things take time. In this business, you need to make your luck with dedication and lots of hard work. You need to treat school in the same professional fashion as work. Push yourself to learn as much as you can.
School is only a staring point.
Many of them have the same curriculum perhaps with different budgets. I think it is more in the talents of the student than the credentials of the schools. My advice here is simple. Before you start paying for your education, go into a restaurant that might be your dream restaurant. If you are more enthusiastic than ever, then go for it.
