I plan to major in food studies in college, but my career goal is to be a chef... Will I be able to accomplish that goal with only a food studies degree?

I am a high school senior who has interest in becoming a chef when I finish college, but I'm not entirely sure what that future might look like.

How can culinary schools use virtual reality to help teach their students?

My name is Pablo I’m from Arizona and I love to cook but I’ve never had any training with handling a knife or anything so accidents always happen. So how can culinary schools teach students cooking skills through virtual reality.
