- Finally answering my most asked questions: is culinary school worth it, how much is it, and what's it like?
Thank you so much for watching! Make sure you like and subscribe for more videos!
I really want to get into a fine dining restaurant, so I’ve been looking into different culinary schools. But I’ve seen so many videos saying that it is not worth the money and you won't get enough information out of it in order to make it worth it, or that it's just a waste of time, and you can learn the same stuff from working in restaurants. There are so many contradicting opinions and I have no idea what to do. Money is the main problem for me. I am currently looking at CIA CA. One of my other main problems with pursuing a culinary career is the social life aspect, as I am the type of person who someday wants a family, life-changing choices like whether or not to go to culinary school are hard... lol. I think my end goal right now is to become a chef and possibly open my own restaurant, but that may change as I get older, maybe even to becoming a private chef, food critic, or test kitchen chef.
You can probably learn everything that culinary school teaches you just by working but it’s going to take you many many years instead of 1-2 years! I 100% think it’s worth it but it’s also not necessary at all to be successful. Go with your intuition! I want kids and a family one day too but I’m focusing on the present since that is my current reality ❤️ best of luck to you!
@@MiaBakes Okay, Thank you so much!
If you want fine dining you should consider lecordon blue, basque and culinary institute of barcelona
I just graduated the CIA in CA, if you have any questions let me know. You get out of it what you put in, it definitely helps you walk into any kitchen with a step higher then the rest.
Another good video very informative top work
Grateful ! At this stage , coming across to you is phenomenal and life saving for me! Hats off to you for surviving in this not so glamorous industry.

Great video Mia. Thanks.
Beautiful and informative video! Very helpful for me
OMG! I LOVE your poster in the background 🤩😂
Hi, I'm a student in culinary field too. In Indonesia, there are two options for culinary schools, namely vocational high school (equivalent to senior high school) and there is also a culinary academy school. And here, academic schools will cost more, because in vocational high schools we are more trained to learn about national food. And in the academy, we will learn global culinary cooking
Come on mannn she deserves more likes🔥thanks love😘
I would recommend going to a community college and getting an associate's degree. If you're lucky you can get it paid off by scholarships or FASFA because it's not that expensive to go and you can live it home because there might be one near you so you can save lots of money. Then you can go to an expensive University to get your bachelor's if it's what you want to do with your career and you plan on working at a Marriott or a very expensive restaurant as a manager. I've decided to hold off on the bachelor's until I figure out what half I want to go on as a cook.
Loved this helped me ❤️
i love it this will really help me
In New Zealand, AUT is really good. I'd recommend for sure
Went to Auguste Escoffier, great for online learning, and military friendly. Only got my certification, I hope to get an associate later on.
Yayyyy!!!! I go to Auguste Escoffier School Of Culinary Arts. I’ll be down in July
I’m going there in July too!! Austin or Boulder?
Pliz tel me the procedure of auguste escoffier online school. I live in africa and i rlly want 2 join. Pliz tel me.
@@evafrost7948 does the online auguste escoffier work everywhere. Like i live in africa. And how do u get equipments.
@@faizaahmad1746 check their website.
Hey chef how’s it going I used to cook as a sous and cdp at one of the best dining’s here in se qld but I’ve been doing a shitty head chef position at a small restaurant now for sponsored visa... once I get my pr I’m really keen to do a pastry course and get back to fine dining as a pastry chef I always had respect for my pastry chefs doing their desserts I also reckon I’d be a better and more complete chef
Wish to cook/bake in a big and competitive city like u do mate such an inspiration keep it up🤙🏽
Yes i would it is worth it cause you learn the ins and outs
i’m definitely not at culinary school level yet. i’m just starting high school and my school offers a culinary program but my career path so far has nothing to do with the culinary arts but i enjoy cooking and baking so much i even consider it my career path sometimes. i’m really interested in joining the program since i’ve always loved cooking and being in the kitchen but i don’t know if it’s enough to take the program instead of using that period as a class for my actual career plan. don’t really know why i’m putting this out there, just hoping someone out there has/is been through the same dilema i have 😕👍🏻
i’ve been in a similar situation recently. in my senior year before picking a college and i originally thought it wanted to go into veterinary, signed up for veterinary classes for half my senior year. yeah, week after i sign up for those i changed my mind to take the culinary program this year instead. I’ve taken culinary classes every year of high school beforehand so it felt like the right choice. i’ve worked in food service the past two years, if it makes you happy i say endure it
Maybe work in the industry for a few weeks at a small restaurant to see how it is.
I’m going through the same thing right now! I’ve already applied, and am waiting for results from the partner school my HS pairs with. It’s so stressful!!
I wish culinary school was worth it for me. I loved school and really excelled. I won a scholarship, awards, and a gold medal in an ACF competition. After graduating, way before COVID, every bakery in town closed because of too high rent and not enough business. Restaurants hardly ever hire because they get their desserts shipped in frozen. The pay rate where I live is $7.50-10/hr even with a degree and experience. No adult can live off of that. I did an externship with Disney, but I couldn't stay because I'm married and didn't want a long distance marriage. I don't work right now because there are no jobs. I wish I could move, but I can't. I think culinary school is good for people who can relocate if needed, and doesn't have anything tying them down.
Wow.. where do you live?
@@SugarGotAlongway2catchme South Carolina. It truly sucks here.
@@sugardust1482 same 😞 I’m hoping to finally go to Archaeology school eventually
I agree. I too, went to the CIA (Hyde Park), and I’ve been the PC at a local hospital, for the last 7 years. I love my job, but unless your school is paid for (by grants, scholarships, parents or others), you’ll graduate with a large amount of debt, while going into a relatively, very low paying career field. Also, it’s hard work, high pressure, long hours and it’s a physically demanding career.
I would say look to Triade Schools for Culinary Education. They are a lot cheaper than a traditional Culinary School. And the majority of them are ACF Certified with a AA or Cert program. For My School we use the same books and material as the CIA and the majority of the chef professors learned at the CIA.
Great video, I’ve been considering culinary school for a while but I’m not sure it’s the best route for me. I want to learn everything I can about how to cook amazing food and I enjoy making the food I cook look as beautiful as possible.but I’m just not sure I’d enjoy the restaurant life and cooking for a ton of strangers if that makes sense. What advice could you give me? I’d appreciate any help.
I went to Johnson and Wales for culinary and food service management
J&WU '91 Alumnus 👍
I’m not really that good at measurement like 1/4 etc so I hope they really help me on that
I went to the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College it's in Philadelphia they offer culinary pastry arts hotel and restaurant management. They offer AS and BS in all four majors they did discuss offering a Masters in Hotel and Restaurant management. It's a small School of about Max 400 student. I was taught by chef McManus she now a permanent instructor.
Very good video
If from New Orleans and have a degree in culinary arts and a extra year in pastry it’s a dime a dozen around here for money you make there is so many talented people off the street that are incredibly skilled around here paying the loans when you not making enough with one job sucks around here so 2 jobs is what most people do
The college that I go to where I'm from in Britain we didn't get a set knives with our uniform, we only got uniform and the college I go to has a catering and hospitality facility as well as others like childcare and joinery
Me too what level u doing?

What is an average wage for us who completes culinary education? How many years did you study? What is your wage?
I live in Boston
Hey I’m 19 at the moment and a second year at college. I’m planning on going to culinary school (mainly focused in patisserie) in 2023 after I get my bachelors and afterwards I’m planning on doing some traveling. Will I be able to get jobs as a pastry chef if I don’t go straight from culinary school to the Work industry?
I would say travel after college. Then enrol in a pastry school. ENSP, France is one of the best just incase you want. It's by Ecole Duccase and worth every dime
Is it worth getting a bachelors degree? A coworker of mine went there for her associates and told me its the best way bc you’d get more kitchen time. But I have been striving for a bachelors in food business management.
Hey I was confused between associate's and bachelor's degree.....the amount of cooking in associate's and bachelor's is similar right? My aim is to learn more of kitchen than business aspect so would I be missing anything kitchen wise when pursuing associate's as compared to bachelor's?
Thanks for the video cute cat how old is it?
Hi..am pastry chef , from India (Kerala)
😍😍
What if you went to a technical school for culinary is going to collage for culinary good?
From Pakistan
so did you only focus on pastry? how long did that take, did you get your bachelor's, does getting a bachelor's help raise your salary when getting a job
Hi 👋🏼 I’m not her but I got a bachelors at Johnson & Wales and it took me 4 years, it definitely helped me not only get a job but get that higher hourly rate. I currently work for Disney in the pastry department and there was a couple other people looking and applying to my job that I got because I had a bachelors and prior experience but what really sold them was that degree and it got me the higher ranked hourly rate. It’s different for everyone and what you wanna do and the type of school. Johnson & Wales has multiple bachelors you can get I only focused on pastry and got a food service management bachelors so when I want to get higher up in the business aspect I have that background knowledge and the skill set of pastry!
@@jocelynncarrion8560 Hi Jocelynn! Thank you so much for replying, that is very useful information. It’s really hard to decide what I really want to do since I will be graduating high school next year, and ever since I can remember I’ve loved baking. Can I get your email or something so I can ask questions when they pop up? Thank you, it would be really nice to have a mentor!
@@angelinaforrest777 of course! I would love to! My email is carrionjocelynn@gmail.com and to anyone that sees this as well I’m here !
You need passionate to do that rigth.....even your school good if you dont have passion that 0..
ur cat is so cute
Hi good
Hold up did she say 33K a semester?? Sheeeeeesh
Salary ?
Gordon Ramsey had an awful childhood if you don't know. Cooking was his only escape.
Is community college a bad idea for this ?
Community college is a great way to get training in Culinary Arts. Just make sure that is Certified by ACF.
Super expensive
I'm a yr late but to answer the title, culinary school is a scam. I would only attend if you were to study abroad like France n if you can financially afford it. Thankfully I landed a great pastry job, but am still paying off my student loans after all these yrs.
I have questions
Why are baker girls so cute
Hello
요리사 쉽지 않네
Culinary School is just like Nursing school
@Mitsuki Tanaka Mutualism,what a great name! I love it! Anyway, As a former nurse,I think it is like in many aspects because of the attention to detail,discipline,commitment,team oriented,structural learning meaning it builds like blocks ( one thing leads to another) so learning the basics is KEY to moving forward. Most people think that it is fun,but in reality it is very hard work. This is the same in Nursing or in any field. Pursue it with Passion and Perseverance. The Tortious and the Hare story is applicable here.
