after getting my diploma from highschool. should I work immediately as a chef in culinary school? or should I attend college next? I was planning on cooking for at least 1 year then return to college anyone got advice for me?

I think that you should get your bachelors degree in college first. It is always good to have a strong foundation to build your future on. Then you should do culinary school.

Honestly, this decision is up to you. You are the one deciding your future. Whatever your heart is calling you to do is what you should do. I know that sounds cheesy and original but people really need to listen to their heart more. Your future is in your hands. You hold all the cards.

Hope that helped in your deciion. Sorry I went all phylisofical there I was just "in the moment". I love encoredging people. Hope this helps!

I would recommend going to a shorter program in culinary arts to learn the basics and then while you’re getting your other degree, working in the industry to pay your bills, you would be learning the culinary trade further whilst still getting your degree and making money. By the time you’re done with your degree you’ll have enough experience under your belt to get the job in the culinary world that you want, or pursue your career in the degree you've been studying.

With several years of culinary experience, you can leave the cooking world and do something else, but ultimately will have the resume to come back if you choose.

If you wait to do culinary school after your degree, you’ll have student loans, and believe me, a cook job is not going to cover those and the cost of living.

Besides, you’re probably going to need to work while you’re in school anyways, might as well put that towards something that can further your career options in the long run.
