@sickburnbro @Vulpes_Quartus @teknomunk So for an industry perspective of someone who spent decades in the business and predate culinary school?

It was an HR driven phenomenon. No chef in his right mind ever said " hey can you put my line cooks in debt and make them think they're chefs when they are really apprentices?"

Also I would personally much rather train a dishwasher who has some hustle how to cook. I'm a cook/chef that's part of my jib and I'm good at it.

Finally back in the day people would just work in kitchens s and if they liked it they would stick with it. Today, having never worked in a kitchen they will drop $35,000 to ultimately learn they have no business working in a kitchen.

Long story longer culinary school is a scam perpetrated by the education cartel who smelled millions of dollars they could extract from unwitting victims
