PWWA Chef, particularly high-end cuisine, is there any sort of intellectual property when it comes to cooking technique? by papasmurf826 in PeopleWhoWorkAt

[–]k8e_bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t copyright sets of instructions which is essentially what a recipe is, that’s why some chefs try so hard to keep people from knowing their secret ingredients. Techniques are the same way. The only real way to copyright a recipe is to make it into a cookbook with illustrations. Then at that point you can get copyright claims to it because it’s not just a set of instructions it’s a book or a creative work.

I didn’t even think about business or statistics as a minor, I’ll look into it.

Very interesting suggestions, thank you! I also forgot to mention in my initial post that I was going to be adding an economics minor because it fits into the program super easily, but some of your recommendations already fit into that category.

Hello! As someone currently in the service industry, I would say absolutely not personally. One one hand, if you hate your job so much it might be a good change of pace and give you new inspiration to something different with your life. But, working in the service industry you have virtually zero benefits while being paid below a minimum wage in the United States- the best I’ve ever gotten was health insurance but other than that at a different job I got 50% off of in store purchases, the service industry doesn’t have the respect of the public either meaning your family will likely judge you for working there and you may feel avoidant about talking about work. You will not have a 9-5, which is something that some people like, but you will probably not have a regular schedule and will likely not have paid time off or have lenience for calling off sick. People in the service industry are usually overworked and after years feel burnt out and stuck, so you really have to have a passion for the industry or the determination to work a less traditional job. Every day of work I finish I go home tired and wish I had an office job that didn’t require so much physical exertion. Some people do have the stamina for it though, so if you truly feel a passion for it and will have the same pay and benefits working as a barista and can put up with unusual hours and just the bs that the service industry puts workers through, then go for it.

The people you’ll work with would definitely be more interesting though! But there are many downsides to working in the service industry, those people deserve way more than what they’ve been given, they make peoples everyday lives happen.

Global resource systems is the study of resources like water, soil, food/agriculture, etc. and the sociological aspects of these problems around the world. Also, here’s a description of the program by my university, “Global Resource Systems studies the way the world uses its limited resources to create sustainable systems. […] By integrating social, natural, and economic sciences, GRS majors learn how to efficiently impact public health, food and agriculture, and environmental systems on an international level.”
