you don't need to go to culinary school to get good. learn from youtube and apprentice in a kitchen if you can find work.
all said, it's a miserably stressful career. no surprise the culinary arts have such a high rate of substance abuse.

My dad went to a top culinary school and became a chef, and I’ve worked around kitchens myself. Don’t do it unless you’re just extremely passionate about food and cooking, and even then you probably won’t like it in the end. The pay isn’t very good, the hours are long and often inconsistent, and as chef it would be your job to manage all the black Mexican kitchen workers, which can be very stressful just on its own. Not to mention that many if not most of your co-workers will be drunk or high. Go to school for something useful instead, anon

The first full year of culinary school is safety and not cross contaminating, on that alone its a complete waste of fucking time if youre White and understand DONT PUT RAW SHIT ON A SURFACE YOU THEN PUT OTHER SHIT ON WITHOUT DISINFECTING IT
There, I gave you a year of education for free. YW.

DONT LEAVE BUCKETS OF SHIT OPEN ON THE FLOOR WITH PEOPLE WALKING BY
Now you got your masters, not just a BA.

It is a terrible investment. It can cost 15k to 30k to go to a culinary school and the starting jobs with a culinary school graduation are around 18k to 30k. You are better off learning on the job at a restaurant for that shitty starting pay without the debt of school. If you really want the school later wait until you have worked your way up the pay scale some. Culinary school is only the path the to decent to good money for maybe 5% to 10%, most of the jobs pay pretty shitty.

The only reason to go to culinary school is to get the reputation if you're opening your own resaurant.

Been there, done that. Although not to "chef" level, obviously, as you're not a chef out of school, you're just a cook.
I barely knew how to cook, went into it because I was long term unemployed and thought it would be something interesting to learn to unlock some future opportunities.
Instead it was a slog through shit I didn't care about just so I could barely finish the course.

If you're not passionate, don't. If you're kinda passionate, you might manage to do it and then become a teacher.
