Very informative. I learned a whole lot. God bless people like you. Reading post from so many people (especially the ones already in their 40's making career change into Culinary Arts) inspired me to change direction career-wise and follow my passion for cooking and baking. I, too in my early 40's, recently laid off from my office job. I have been trying to find a job in the semi-conductor industry, the industry I've been in for 15 years but the road is long, tough and result is futile. So I made up my mind to follow what my heart so desire for the longest time - passion for cooking. I have been researching for culinary schools for sometime now when I stumble to your website. To start, checking out few Culinary schools this week. I'm taking the plunge so to speak. I figure it's now or never. <em>Hey Juliet, thanks for posting and I wish you the very best in finding a way to fulfill your passion for cooking. - RG</em> First, I love your website.

Please consider me at age 47 for a grant or loan to get a career going again as a chef. Thank you!
