Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts - Come give us $40,000.00 to work in a kitchen!
NEET and freelance writer.
I studied neuroscience for a while and am currently on break from university. I'll take classes again in May or September. Managed a small trucking company for two years.
Spent most of 2016 traveling. I was in India from December 2015 until February 2016, with ten days in Thailand. Went to Canada a handful of times and then Costa Rica and Nicaragua from May until June. Quit my trucking office job in July after breaking up with my GF of two years, used $1k in Delta Dollars to buy a ticket to India, and went back from then until December of this year.
Just got back home.
Like I said, mostly freelance writing. I did a lot of odd jobs to make ends meet in India. Was in a few television advertisements, worked as a club promoter (brought white people to clubs), and did advertisements and blog writing for some companies.
lol I went to CIA try $120,000
HOLY MOTHER OF CHEKD
WITNESSED
>>a lot of stupid people thinks that all it takes to be a photographer is having a good camera, you get a lot of "with a camera like that i could take photos too"
I fucking hate that shit too man. I'm not a photographer, just a shutterbug with a 60D. People have no respect for real photography because they can't understand the variables of taking a good photo or post-production etc..
oh shit nigger
Just throwing it out there that OPs pic related was shopped. this is the original.
Butcher
Pros: Great skill to have, get the freshest cuts of meats, can bitch at anyone I want
Cons: work 100+ hours a week toward Christmas (paid limited overtime of roughly 10-20 hours on top of my 40), deal with retards all day who think they know more than you ("A prime rib is a cut of meat!" Nah, prime rib's a nickname for prime grade standing rib roast. Choice Standing Rib is good too, I normally can't tell the difference unless it was kobe, wagyu, piedmontese, etc.)
Another pro: lots of downtime, on the clock right now.
Why the fuck is everyone ignoring this
she has sand in her ass. I hate sand like Darth Vader hates sand. Probably why he nuked Scarif with the Death Star.
In addition, you get used to bad smells really quickly. Pro and con, I guess.
A friend of mine was a Chef Instructor at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, TX. He said most of his students had this idea to go there so they could open their own restaurants. He said many were privileged white kids with rich parents who paid for it. 99% of them fail after graduation on their first job.
My other friend graduated from there (In Austin) and her first job was working on a cruise ship. She contracted staph infections 3 times because of the close quarters. They were cooking 24 hours a day. Norwegian Cruise Lines

Cons: The military collects adult children that can barely function and create additional drag on the rest of us, also deployments can suck.
Do you ever have to beat the kids?
