So, even though my kids wont get scholarship money to pay for the books, tools (one will be a diesel mechanic, a few thousand in required tools) and the other a chef (about a thousand  culinary/knife sets, and another in wardrobe), or the housing expenses, they will be much better off than many kids because they know how to earn money, save it, manager it, plan for big purchases, etc. 

Better even is a 3 bed that can be converted easily to a 2 unit with a studio kitchen as people will take to the culinary delights around them.

And RCC, the local community college, is finishing another round of building including the very cool culinary arts school in downtown and a new admin building on the main campus.

Over the past 6 years I have inadvertently acquired experience in the real-estate field.USMC veteran - Culinary arts degree - Jack of All trades - Master of none - Located near Charlotte NC --  First, in attempt to own my own business I negotiated a deal with a commercial property owner committing only sweat equity to completely re-haul a near lost cause of a building.

. $80k later, I've got a degree in culinary.

I went to school for realestate, culinary, nursing, business, horticulture, massage therapist, now going to school for Bachelor in Social Work .

Was in the culinary world.

I plan on traveling the world, to explore my culinary interests, and real estate presents a great way to earn money while traveling. 

I have a culinary background where I was a chef both private and professional.

Don't get me wrong, we have very intelligent children, one has his Le Cordon Bleu Certificate along with his AA in Culinary Arts.
