Most culinary schools are for-profit and charge steep tuitions. While
most restaurant jobs for newbies pay poorly, leaving you under a
crushing debt burden for years.

Tax-supported schools are more affordable. Check out the community
colleges in your area. Big cities' school systems often operate a
vocational/trade school. In Chicago, the Washburne Trade School turned
out hundreds of cooks and bakers before the program became part of the
City College system.

The cheapest way is just to start working for a restaurant, and learn
as you go.
