Hi Marcus,
I am a chef, and have a AS culinary degree.
Cooking is a very hands-on job, but at the same time there is a lot of knowledge and skills involve as well.
Of course, the most traditional way to job field is through college, I certainly agree to that. Having the knowledge and apply later.
But it is also a good idea if you can work part time in a restaurant to build some skills and experience. So when you are learning in school, you can also reflect your experience.
In the culinary world, it is more than working in a restaurant, it can also be in a company as chef to do food presentations, or travel chef, or private chef. There are all different kind of opportunities.
Choose your career according to your passion and you will blossom!
Good luck Marcus!

If you have a culinary degree and/or trained under a notable chef and have moved up the ranks, you are typically considered a chef. If you simply dabble in the kitchen at home or are just starting out at the bottom of the restaurant totem pole, you are almost always considered a cook.

Hi Marcus B ,
Always & always a a formal Bachelor degree is always advantageous. To achieve great heights in your career as a chef (a high-end chef), then a relevant degree or diploma (in addition to training or apprenticeship) will help you in several ways. You can do a diploma course in culinary arts or hotel & hospitality management after your high school to get into the culinary world.
Cheers :)
