re: Anyone know anybody who went to the Louisiana culinary institute?

I haven't read all the comments. I know of 3 people who have gone through 'chef school'. Not Louisiana Culinary, but I imagine they're all the same in regards to what you can do afterward.

NONE of the people who went through chef school are working even in food service anymore. Every one said that there is no money working as a chef. They imagined something along the lines of becoming this great high paid chef. But said even the high dollar restaurants just hire Mexicans to come in at half price and there's no competition since they don't have school bills and live in houses with 20 other people.

I don't know if this is true or racist. But it's what I have been told by 3 different people who aren't even friends with each other. Made sense to me.
