I'm a Providence grad and would like to tell your friend that a 2yr degree will get you just as far if not farther than a 4yr. Because in 4 years time she can have 2 yrs of education & 2 years of experience which will look much more attractive than 4 yrs in school. 99% of employers dont look past a 2yr program. The school will tell you different, Iknow I've been there, she should call places she would like to work and get their opinion before signing on for 4 yrs. I really dont think its worth it. Good luck. If I could be of help let me know.
: Hi All,

: I have a friend who is finishing
: a BA in English/Spanish literature. She will be
: J&W Providence for a 2 yr culinary degree in
: Pastry Arts. Help from J&W Providence grads or anyone
: else would be appreciated.

: Are there many fewer opportunities for 2 yr grads?
: If she already has a BA, how much grief would it be
: to roll everything into a 4 yr degree if the market
: for 2 yr grads is tough?

: How much of the 2 yr program would apply to the 4yr
: culinary degree?

: Are there any folks out there who know of any
: scholarships for this friend of mine (3.94 GPA)?

: If you could answer to me, I'll relay the info I get.

: Thanks for any help you can provide.
