Talk:Profession
From Academic Kids
Cooking as a profession, i.e. chefs, restaurant management, dietetics, nutritionists, etc.
Many people make their living cooking for others. The Occupational Outlook (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos024.htm) for chefs, restaurant mangers, dieteticians, and nutritionists is fairly good, with "as fast as the average" growth. Some college is often required for success in this field. There are trade schools, universities, and professional organizations that support this profession.
Some organizations that support professionals who cook for others include:
The American Dietetic Association http://www.eatright.org/
Chef2Chef Culinary Portal http://chef2chef.net/rank/inter.shtml
The Cooking Club of America http://visitors.cookingclub.com/
New York Association of Cooking Teachers http://www.nyact-online.org/index.html
Finding schools and programs:
My Career Education: Culinary Arts !! (http://www.mycareeredu.com/cschls.html) is a guide to many of the culinary schools in the U.S.
Some good books on this topic are:
Beal, Eileen. Choosing a career in the restaurant industry. New York: Rosen Pub. Group, 1997.
Institute for Research. Careers and jobs in the restaurant business: jobs, management, ownership. Chicago: The Institute, 1977.

Prostitution
Perhaps that sentence on prositution should be moved elsewhere in the article referencing the modern merging of the concepts of profession and occupation/work. ~ Dpr 27 Feb 2005
What do you think?
I talked to my psychologist Monday and told him that perhaps I would do better getting in the Engineering field. He told me I might do better with a degree in Veterinary Technology. He knows I am better at science (Chemistry, Biology, and Medicine) then I am at Math, and getting a Bachelor's degree in engineering is more relient on higher math then veterinary technology. What do you think? And what are the advantages/disadvantages in being in these fields and getting an education in them (through comparing the two for the advantages/disadvantages)?
Thank you.
Edit: The engineering I want to take in school is Electrical/Electronic and Mechanical engineering.
