How should I spend £ 35k ($ 70k)? The best cooking school in France or invest in real estate? I plan to spend my money goes to cooking school in Paris for 18 months (I'm 22 years old trainee chef) or do you think I should invest in real estate and go to cheaper schools? My parents and accountant told me to invest in real estate. I can not be arsed more I want to go to school in Paris ... But is it really worth? at least if the property that I own, I will have a long term investment, and spending £ 35,000 on 18 months of training seems a lot - granted I would be a great leader, but I will not have something value to show for it.
Serious replies only please, no "I do not know."
Thank you
Ordinarily, I am in favor of spending money on education, especially when it will improve your skills in your career. But you did not specifically say whether you had studied cooking in some way. Ultimately, exactly how this school to improve your career prospects?
To be a leader, it seems more important to cling to a job with a famous chef restaurant, much to gain practical experience, and from there. Worked for 18 months for Susan Spicer or Alain Ducasse will do more good than school. So if you feel you will never get this kind of opportunity, without the culinary school would it be advisable to go.
Investing in properties is not a bad idea, but you must consider several factors, where you live, how quickly properties are appreciating or depreciating in your area, what is your rate of return on your investment and how long you plan on operating properties. Being that you are young, perhaps you might consider investing in something more long term that could exceed inflation. I highly recommend reading a book entitled "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth" by Ric Edelman. It's an easy read and you learn a lot about how money works to your advantage. Good luck with cooking school. Never give up!

Thank you!
I want to go to culinary school, the property is on its way down and it is always risky! The school will remain with you for the rest of your life and you can get the best education you can!
