I am not a college graduate. I went to college once for culinary arts, but half way through the course I realized that if I worked in a decent restaurant I could learn everything those bozo's were teaching me, plus get paid to do it. So I quit, I didn't want to cook for the rest of my life anyhow. Every "chef " I ever met was a hot headed, ego-maniac, and that's not me and I don't want it to ever be me. I will go back to school some day ,and I will deal with these trials and tribulations you face today. I feel sorry for you, you're in a tough boat.
Ooooh I definately can relate. i just went back to school after six years because I realized the department store I was working in was my prision and the likelyhood of me staying in the same position year after year with poor excuses of a raise handed to me was really all I had to look forward to. I know full well that I will probably be back after graduation, but atleast for now I've escaped...
