My first degree was in Ethology, Ecology, and Evolution. I did one year post grad in ecology as well.

I only use it when I need to point out that I'm one of the only ones on TFP with any sort of formal training on the subject.

As BS or BA degree is more like extended highschool in my book. Very few have you ready for the real world in any particular subject. It gives you real 'grow up' time as well as helping focus you on what you want to do.

If you want to be a chef, which would be a lot of fun in my book, do it. I'd spend the time and money for formal training as well, as it can open the door to the finer establishments where you can learn under other 'master' type chefs.

Being 25 is nothing in this, I didn't start my doctorate program until 26 and a masters after at 29.

Hell I still think about getting a PhD a couple of subjects I enjoy but I know thats not going to happen logistically at this point.
