And that's completely false. You don't leave culinary school as a chef if you're going into the restaurant business, you're a line cook or prep cook, and your knowledge lets you advance much more quickly than everyone else. Sure you can get a "kitchen manager" sort of job in a hotel or cafeteria or something, but any restaurant hiring people into non-entry-level positions out of culinary school aint winning no awards. A huge portion of the famous chefs never went to culinary school. When I graduated, I was a line cook working for a guy who never went to school and he was one of the most talented chefs I've ever encountered.
