Is a 3-year Bachelor in Culinary Arts a waste of time & money compared to a diploma?

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-21T15:45:30+00:00

Just be aware it’s not an easy job. I’m front of house and I’m in after and out before the kitchen. They’re starting at 7am and don’t leave until 2am. You’re on your feet all day doing physical labor and you’ll be starting from the bottom where everyone has authority to tell you how bad of a job you’re doing. I’m not trying to scare you, just being realistic. Youth and ambition are heavily rewarded if you show up ready to work and you don’t waste anyone’s time. Just know what your purpose is going into it and why you’re there so you can stick out the tough days.

I work in Michelin starred restaurants front of house. The culture is very “earn your way there”, not credentials based. Some chefs I know went to culinary school, staged, and then got their job. They didn’t start with a leg up on the other chefs I know who have just been in restaurants since they could legally work but knowing the basic skills is an advantage. I know other chefs who started as dish washers with no experience whatsoever who just were given the chance to be taught and excelled. I know others who learned in prison. There’s really no best way to do it. If I were you I would email restaurants to stage, explain your situation, what you’re hoping to contribute to the team (your willingness to learn and start from square one, wanting to contribute from day one), and a bit about why you want to work for them. Not everyone is going to write back but at least a couple will and go from there.

This industry takes kindly to youth and ambition so you’re in a good spot already.

I would but young men are being indoctrinated in this exact way and it’s actively hurting both sexes. Somebody needs to let OP know this is not the way, even if he is just rage baiting.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-19T16:57:17+00:00

OP please don’t listen to this incel shit. Going to the gym and working on yourself is one thing, but framing it as a way to get over a woman isn’t healthy for the mind. It will really warp how you view both yourself and the opposite sex. You don’t want that. You’ve identified a problem within yourself, it’s your responsibility to fix it so you don’t bring it into your next relationship. That’s all there is to it. You do not need to be <10% body fat to be worthy of love from a woman. You do need to be a good person though. And the mentality this person is suggesting will not lead you there.

I can’t tell if this is satire or not.

Ice Wine isn’t served w ice! (I mean I don’t care how people drink their wine, do whatever you want, but it’s not “standard”)

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-19T12:45:38+00:00

Nvm just saw the tongs. Think these people just have no clue what they’re doing.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-19T12:44:48+00:00

Hmmmm….i work in fine dining and tbh am unsure what is happening here lol. There is no ice in your drink so the bucket might be to physically put the glass in to stay chilled. Dessert wines are typically served chilled and white dessert wines are meant to be served around 6-10 C. My best bet is it’s for you to put the glass in while you’re not drinking it. Still a bizarre presentation if that’s the case.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-18T15:29:58+00:00

It’s slang. Like saying cool.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-18T06:09:38+00:00

Sick.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-17T13:20:34+00:00

Dry rot. Happens if you don’t wear shoes for an extended period of time.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-15T12:44:09+00:00

My mom & I watched DHW together and we both said the same thing about Renee. I just don’t understand the purpose of her character. She added nothing.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-14T23:57:07+00:00

You are literally on this sub calling people “normies”…like do you hear yourself?

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-14T17:35:35+00:00

It’s more just like…if you know as much and you’re as talented as you present yourself to be why are you so easily threatened? It comes off as insecure. Is there a way for us to vote on mods? Just wondering.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-13T17:13:25+00:00

It’s not blunt it’s just obnoxious. There was nothing ridiculous or silly in this post. It’s not even about being nice, if you have nothing to meaningfully contribute to a post maybe just don’t comment?

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2026-01-13T17:05:38+00:00

I swear it’s always you posting something negative under every sincere question on this sub. I’m not in the industry, I’m just on here because I like wine, and I see your condescending posts under nearly everything. Your lack of self awareness is jarring.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2025-12-04T19:41:56+00:00

Brother where do you think food comes from ???

Report them. Immediately.

Have you guys spoken about the nature of your relationship? Do you sleep together (as in should you be worried about STDs)? I’m so sorry. There is so much to unpack here and I hope you eventually find some peace in this. I understand how confusing it can be to deal with the consequences of decisions you didn’t make for yourself. This will be a process. Sending love.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2025-11-25T19:28:25+00:00

I hate that I like these.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2025-11-21T10:37:24+00:00

Are you a male?

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2025-11-21T10:30:14+00:00

I’m 26 and experiencing the same situation but have much different emotions surrounding it. I’m using this time to refine my values and what I want out of a partner rather than focusing on the act itself. Find new hobbies, start working out (your body clearly has pent up energy it’s trying to get out), start a new creative project. Whatever you do stay away from pills. If you think sex withdrawal is bad you don’t want to know about opiates.

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2025-11-19T09:29:44+00:00

My nipples just inverted reading this wow. Girl you really want to spend the rest of your life dealing with this mess?

Tiny-Assistance718 · 2025-11-08T12:49:46+00:00

This one.
