The Cost of Your Child’s Success

Let's face it. The cost of success is nothing compared to the cost of your child not having an Associate degree in Culinary or Party Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality and Restaurant Management.

• With a degree, your child can expect to make an additional $2.2 million over the course of a professional career versus someone without one.
• In 2003, the median income for someone with an Associate degree was $37,600. The median income for a high school graduate that same year was $30,800. Increase to a Bachelor degree in 2003, and the median income jumped to $49,900.
• Put another way, someone with an Associate degree can expect to earn $834 per week. Someone with a Bachelor degree can expect to earn $983 per week. With a high school diploma, you could be looking at $507 per week.
• According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs that require an Associate degree or higher account for 40% of total job growth.
• The Department of Labor reports that employment for men and women with college degrees increased 1.8 million, while those with high school diplomas experienced a loss of nearly 700,000 jobs.

We also understand that the gold at the end of the rainbow doesn't necessarily give your child the means to get there. That's why The Chef's Academy has any number of financial aid possibilities including Grants, Loans and Scholarships. Feel free to see which options are available and, by all means, please contact one of our admissions representatives if you have any questions at all.
