I've trained an ICC grad couple of years ago and he said he's never used his serrated knife. He said there were too many kids in the class and was difficult to learn anything. The school's tuition has gone through the roof and I don't feel like it's worth sending kids through it anymore. It just doesn't pay off at the end. They're better off getting an academic degree and just being a stagier and learning for free.

Extremely over priced tuition for the education you receive. Also google 10 reasons NOT to be a chef before getting yourself into this industry.
