ok, my wife’s mom said she would pay for her culinary institute classes, she changed her mind and she’s already been in it for a few months, we thought this was 40,000, but it turns out that with the interest rate and everything it comes out to 101,000, this would come out to about 600 a month for like 15 years or so. on top of that we owe my friend about 2700 for a loan he got for our wedding which minimum payment is 157 a month. on top of this we owe a credit card 2200, we pay the gym 90 a month, we have to pay this until april next year and we might owe them about 1000 on top of this, i owe my lawyer 500 and i have to pay him before february, she used to go to rutgers university and owes them about 2850, we owe time warner a one time payment (we cancelled) of 150. we pay verizon 100 a month, we pay verizon wireless 150 a month. I have to get a blood test which might be about 40 bucks, and i have another payment for some documents i need which is 120 dollars, she has to pay a ticket before dec 14 for $40 or she’ll end up in jail, and we need to get some pictures developed for some documents and this might be between 100 and 200 dollars. i just lost my job (NO IM NOT JOKING) and my wife lost hers and just got one as a waitress, she only does one shift because she goes to school in the morning. i dont know what to do, im looking for a job but i’m afraid i wont be able to make it even like this. i have never seen this amount of debt in my life. what should i do?? please help me! any advice?
the minimum payment for the credit card is 100 and we don't pay rent and so far we don't pay utilities but we might have to start (200 a month)
Thanks for the advice but the Verizon plan isnt phone, it's cable

You need to go see a local debt counselor. Try to find a non profit community debt counseling service. They can help you organize your finances. You need to speak to someone in person about this. Your wife may have to seriously consider putting her culinary institute classes on hold until you can get your finances in order. One suggestion is to keep the wireless plan and drop the other Verizon plan.

Women love to force the stereotype that men don't know a thing about cooking. That men only know how to warm up Ramen Noodles and microwave hotdogs.

And there's the general perception in society, even in 2007, than women are the ones who cook anyways.

In high school we had a cookie-baking contest — boys vs. girls. The girls taunted us based on the conception that boys can't cook. They kept telling us we didn't know what we were doing.

We won.

The girls had burned their cookies. Did we taunt the shamed girls afterwards? We sure did! Who wouldn't, after being made fun by these sexist women during the whole competition?

The point is, the top most famous chefs in the world today are men. The majority of culinary proffessors are men. And the vast majority of chefs in the finest restaurants are men.

Women, next time remember that the next time you insult a man and say he's a baffoon that can't cook.
On a personal note, I am a great cook, and many of the girls I've gone out with will testify to this. I have no culinary school training, and am more-or-less a self-taught natural. Also, most of the women I've been with could NOT cook… I mean, some were almost bordering "retarded", as many didn't even know how to boil spaghetti. I prepared most of the meals. Thankfully, my current GF is a pretty decent cook (still not as good as me, LOL). So we cook for each other.
Gaymalkin AKA Baba Haga:

I tend not to trust the judgement of a man-hating woman who has an extensive history of male-bashing, trolling, and stalking. This is the reason you've had numerous accounts suspended; due to your vulgar, bitter, hate-filled diatribe.

You need to see a psychiatric specialist immediately.
Fraxinus:

Your rant about women doing all the cooking and being "unpaid" and "unthanked." Seriously, do you believe a woman (or a man) should be given money from their spouse for house duties? Also, if the man is doing the "manly work," like fixing the roof, painting the house, replacing pipes, electrical work, mowing the lawn, making sure the car is in top condition — should women "thank" them and "pay" them each time their men complete these tasks? Everytime a man comes home from work, should these women say "thank you honey, for earning money at work to keep a roof over our heads!" You are a selfish idiot, and your notions are ridiculous.

It's sad that you say men "plagiarize" their mothers recipes. Since when did mothers and their sons become enemies in competition? Only in the mind of a sick misandrist like yourself. When women pass down recipes from their mothers (or fathers), then you'd just say they passed it down. When men do it, you call it plagiarism.

there are very few things that women can do better than men…that's why there is the "W"nba, womens golf, womens tennis, womens (insert any sport or activity here). if they were to compete with men they would be embarassed just about every time. sorry ladies, the truth hurts sometimes, now go cook us some dinner!

many great chefs have studied at the CIA (culinary institute of america). an example of these greats are each of the winners of the show Top Chef. all 3 attended CIA. so my question is, how hard is it to get into this school? what are the requirements???
is it possible to get accepted if you have no prior culinary experience???

The Experience Requirement*

The CIA requires that you gain about six months of hands-on food preparation experience in a kitchen in which at least 50% of the food is made to order on the premises. Here are some ways to gain this experience:

* Work in a commercial kitchen (e.g., restaurant, bakery, hospital, and college foodservice).
* Volunteer for a soup kitchen, hospital, or the like.
* Do an apprenticeship.
* Tell potential supervisors of your intention to attend the CIA. Often, they will then give you the opportunity to do hands-on food preparation.
* Work for a caterer (the hours are usually more flexible).
* Complete the hands-on requirements of your high school's ProStart or Hospitality program. (Please check with CIA Admissions to make sure your school's program applies.)

* Please note that you do not need foodservice experience to apply for admission—the requirement must be met before entering the CIA.

Getting Recommendations

Has it been a while since you were in school? If you are unable to get a recommendation letter from a former teacher or counselor, that’s OK. You can submit one from another individual who can attest to your passion for food and interest in a culinary career.

Want to make it easier for your guidance counselor, culinary educator, or foodservice employer to write your letter of recommendation for admission to the CIA? We can help. Just print out our Letter of Recommendation Guidelines and pass them along when you ask for the recommendation.

Prepare For Your Assessment Test

To make sure you start off on the right foot—and in the right class—the CIA requires all applicants to take assessment tests. If you are accepted and enroll at the CIA, these tests will determine your first classes so you can begin your studies confident that your education will meet your needs.

I sitll love my ex girlfriend of two years. We have been broken up for two months now and I worried about her and her new boyfriend. I am out of highschool and she is about to graduate, and we are both college bound. I am going to a Culinary School in New York and she is staying in Indiana. The plan was she was going to go to one of our top colleges here. Either it be Indiana U or Purdue, or a girls college called Saint Marys. We werent happy that we would be apart from each other, but from a future standpoint it was the best for the both of us. We were not going to hold each other back. I am still going to the Culinary School , but it seems her new boyfriend is going to hold her back. He has a diner job, no car, out of highschool and seems to have no college ambition. He is going to beg her to go to a closer college that doenst offer the same HIGH education as the others would. I feel like I need to step in and give the push shes needs to be successful and make sure he doesnt hold her

so do it and help her out

For years, I have known that I want to go to culinary school after high school. But, now that time is almost here, I am getting nervous about the choice.

I love and am fascinated by food. Making a great meal is the most rewarding thing to me, so being a chef is an obvious choice.

Culinary school is expensive. Will I make enough money to pay for school, support myself, and future family? I know I have to start from the bottom, but how long does it take to get to the top? Is there a great demand for Chefs in the job market.

I am told do what I love if I want to be happy. Cooking is what I love, but you also have to be financially secure to be happy. I am just wondering if my decision is the right one.

Sadly a chef in a normal resturant makes about 20- 30 thousand dollars. In a nice grill or steak place maybe 30-35 thousand and at a very nice place or on beverly hills or a big chef job youll make good money. Also working for celebritys or ball players.
