The problem is if you go to culinary school and have little to no restaurant experience- you’re going to start off as a $12/hour line cook

Do people do this?

I don’t know anyone who has gone to LCI without experience on a line - all of the guys that I know already had at least 4-5 years of experience when they started, and were capable of working most (if not all) stations at a restaurant.

But yeah, I’m sure if someone went with no experience at all they would be in for a rude awakening. I imagine the experience helps you get more out of the program as well.

Yes. Some of the kids right out of high school and go into culinary school have no experience

ETA: also I’ve known a few pastry students that had wanted a career change, liked baking at home, so they went to culinary school with no bakery/restaurant experience
