Restaurant management, a lot of todays chef's are investing in restaurants, or you could look into working for a cruise line for a change of scenery. Menu planning for schools or other institutions.  Take you knowledge on the road and speak at events such as nra expos., start a catering service

Up until very recently, I was the head cook for an upscale facility that did hospital, cafeteria and restaurant cooking based on medical needs and mood of the individual resident.  It was a very rewarding job and I loved taking the time to visit with our residents.  When I'm done with my own medical treatments, I plan on returning, too!\n\n~Morg~

I would probably want to be an artist, musician or writer. Or maybe a food critic.

There are far too many possibilities and you have given too little information for anyone to provide you with an accurate answer. Your best answer will come from you contacting a career counselor and spending a few hours taking tests, and exploring the possibilities that are reasonable for you and your circumstances.\n\nHaving said that here are a few options - that may/may not be right for you - any of over 50 Trades apprenticeships, realtor, computer tech, CADC, EMT...I could go on.

I was in the same dilema once. I too wanted to be a chef - but my parents were against it. I went on to become a chartered accountant. But really even now I dont feel satisfied with my job. I still have the urge to throw away all this and become a chef. My dear, if you are really interested in any particular career - go for it - there is nothing like a bad career. It all depends on your interest for any particular career. The pay depends on your expertise - check this out http://www.alis.gov.ab.ca/occinfo/Content/RequestAction.asp?aspAction=GetHTMLProfile&format=html&OCCPRO_ID=71002102 You can either go for some boring job and repent for the rest of your life or chose what u like - but make sure you make your parents proud one day!

New England Culinary Institute (NECI) in Vermont.\n\nchef to student ratio is 7 students for each chef.  Very small intense classes, students rotate through 7 working restaurants and do 2 paid internships.  After your 2 years of culinary, you could come back and do one more year and get a BA in Hospitality Management.  That is a good combo because you have the culinary background and then you get the top of the house experience also.

The pay scale will vary, I'm sure... but consider what the options are:\n\nIndependent bakeries can't offer you much long-term opportunity, nor will upscale independent restaurants.  Opportunities for talented people connected to a larger corporation are one of the better bets.  Consider:\n\n- after a certain period, you can probably transfer around in the corporation\n- also, if you find baking (something you probably enjoy) to become a drag when you do it every day for work, there is opportunity to change careers without changing companies and going through the job search process again.\n- larger corporations with more resources are more likely to offer better benefit packages (money that you don't have to spend out of your own pocket)\n- and if you like to travel, the discounts that you'll get on affiliated hotels or other travel incentives will be very attractive (more money that you won't have to spend out of your own pocket)\n\nSit down for a while, brainstorm the opportunities, and make some comparisons.  The hospitality industry is very strong where I live.  I often recommend it to my students and have considered it myself.\n\nBest wishes.

Sounds like you'd be a good teacher!!  You might want to also think of behind the scenes politics - policy development, operations, etc.  You could also become a lawyer!  You have lots of options!

I've been a restaurant manager for many years and I haven't used a great deal of chemistry in my day-to-day operations. If you have to take it for a degree...then you just have to take it. :)

Are your coworkers intelligent, classy and hard-working?\n\nMoreso than ever. I've finally gotten a decent adult job. \nYou need a better job.  Food service is oftentimes just a party job.  Free food and liquor and if the money is good then the big white train blows into town quite often.

This site has a list of culinary schools in Miami. At a number of them you can select courses in baking.\n\nI suggest you call some of the leading restaurants known for their pastry and ask where the pastry cook took his or her training.

My brother-in-law is a personal chef and does very well at it. Frankly, it took a lot of time and searching, mostly via the Internet, for him to find the excellent situation he now has. But he would tell you that the effort was well worth it.\n\nBest of success.

SALES!!\n You already have sales experience- if you were a server in the restaurant, you should know how to be friendly and make people feel like they are being taken care of...\n\nNOT retail sales-\n\nhow about a sales position for a magazine, or a food company, or here's a good one- a huge catering company- you already have food handling experience, use the skills that you have aquired. oh, this is great too, a POS (point of sales) computer touch screen system to restaurants (like micros or restaurant manager)\n\nand many sales positions you can make your own hours, or at least have flexible hours. you should believe in what you are selling, and it should be something that you are excited about, that will make you more successful. some salespeople make mad money, like six figures or even more, it all depends on what you are selling. and some places offer paid training.\n\ngood luck!
