Johnson & Wales University - Providence

Johnson & Wales was the best career decision I ever made. I was a successful chef for maore that ten years before attending Johnson & Wales but despite the financial success of the restaurants that I managed and served in as executive chef, I had no benefits other than decent salery. I graduated with a degree in culinary nutrition and the very day that I graduated I was hired at a slightly higher starting salery with the addition of full medical, dental and life insurance as well as matching 401K. These things are virtually unheard of in the culinary idustry and I had never had more that basic dental in the past. I realize that these results are atypical and I was in truth extreemly dedicated and proactive im my job search but I would not have had these successes without the education, support and tools provided by J&W. The negative posts that I have read here should be self evident representations of the low mental capacity and motivation level of the authors. If you are a young person who is looking for a place to persue an education this web site is in my opinoin a grave diservice to you. Look only to yourself to make that decision and do so in an informed manner. Visit several schools and ignore most of what you are told by your tour guide. Have some candid conversations with students in your choses major and judge the content by the personality of the student. if the person you are talking to is someone you could see yourself being friends with their opinion is more likely to be sueful to you than that of some nameless idiot who posted here or any other place on the internet. Lasstly call some employers in your chosen field and ask them which schools the reccomend or often hire from, that will be a thousand times more useful that any internet search. I can tell you from my twenty years of personal experience as a working chef that J&W enjoys the highest reputation of ALL schools for well prepared and capable graduates. Thats my two cents, take it or leave it.
