Great insight from a pro!It's just getting started and proving ones self no matter what the age.I finally set a goal that started from passion and now the dream is about to come true!

I have an appointment to visit the local CAS in Pasadena this afternoon. I'm in my mid 40's and have been a Telecom Engineer for the past 10+ yrs. Recently laid off for the 2nd time in 8 yrs. The economy plays a huge roll in that industry. I've always been somewhat of a cook since childhood. Family members have done it professionally: Chef, Seus Chef, etc. in the past. It's time for me to make the change. Only today did I ask my self the the question of being too old. Found this blog and it helps me with the answer - NOT I'M NOT. So Thank's Y'all! I dig this post!

I am 40 and have wanted to go to culinary school for YEARS. I will finally go next year, or so I hope. With a family it may be a bit difficult, but all things are possible. Thanks for the encouragement, and I encourage all of you as well! good to read all of your comments. I am 40 and have wanted to go to culinary school for YEARS.
