I was parked outside our town's culinary "institute" today, waiting for someone in a neighboring business - and got to watch the parade of students going into and out of the building.
The culinary students were evenly divided between those who where very obese and barely able to button up their chef's jackets (bulging buttons, etc) who huffed and puffed the whole way through the cross walk - and those were either drug addicts or alcoholics (or both) who looked like they had partied the whole night and were about to drop dead at any minute. (Well, the rotund ones were about to drop dead, too - but from other causes)
So I would like none of those people even near my food - why were there so many of them in culinary school?
Honestly - the site would have been an embarrassment for anyone in the restaurant industry.

I'm not sure that culinary students are "undesirable", but each field may have people that don't take care of themselves and perhaps need to lose a few pounds (between us and the wall ;) Let us also keep in mind that those in culinary work around food and that may be a passion for different reasons.
Just fyi for those interested in culinary, please avoid those private overly priced For-profit schools and instead consider the more affordable community college or even county vo-tech school as long as the program is accredited within the industry.
Culinary college is costly. they're going to take you in case you qualify for financing. it is fairly the standards. optimal colleges prepare technique and uncomplicated skills. they're stable at cranking out stable line chefs and sous chefs. The wages earned in those positions in all fairness low and paying decrease back that pupil very own mortgage is going to take an prolonged time. opposite to what the flashy brochures and categorised advertisements say - they're waiting to't create a "chef" out of each and every pupil. evaluate commencing up out at a job in a kitchen that does paintings out. enable your boss/chef be attentive to you have an activity in reading extra advantageous. you're waiting to be waiting to start on the backside - on the same time as a dishwasher or bus boy - yet eating place group comes and is going and and there's a stable probability you is frequently knowledgeable to regulate a flaky line cook dinner that doesn't choose for to ensue to paintings distinctly with out postpone. you will additionally adventure what it is resembling in a working kitchen. you're able to desire to be immediately on your ft, a speedy logician and a stable communicator. it is risky, immediately paced and stressful. some thing they do no longer prepare you in culinary college. a stable proficient chef - your boss - will see your ability and encourage you indoors the kitchen.
You are probably exaggerating, but even those people do have their own desires to learn how to cook foods properly and for some, to loose weight from unhealthy eating.
