They teach you not only cooking, but about the foods, menu planning, trends, costing products, business, everything. It's very rigorous and stressful, but that's the only way you get a "chef" designation. Despite my screen name, I was just a head cook at my own place. Never earned the degree.

However one alternative is to become an apprentice to an already established chef. A friend of mine took that route and has become very successful over the years. You could also start from the bottom to the top as a preparer. Stay away from chain restaurants that serve preprepared foods like Fridays, etc. That won't teach you very much if you already know how to operate an oven or a microwave.
