Culinary Schools in San Jose California
Just south of San Francisco, nearly a million people reside in San Jose, best known for Silicon Valley. Yes, San Jose is the stepchild of San Francisco, but that does not mean the region does not offer a vibrant culinary scene all its own. Before tech giants came along San Jose was an area brimming with orchards and fields; apricots, cherries, walnuts, prunes and peaches, and the region still holds agriculture close to its heart. The Silicon Valley has been a good thing for culinary students; needless to say corporate chefs are in demand. Today, the city hosts a very eclectic food scene that includes Mexican food, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, pizza joints as well as fine dining and contemporary restaurants. According to 2015 BLS statistics cooks and head chefs earn $45,000 annually with 13% growth expected through 2022. Cooks, fast food, cafeteria and institutional workers average $31,000 but with a projected growth of 16%. Bakers come in at $26,000 and 11% expected growth, and food service managers at $55,000 and 11% expansion.
