Wish me luck!

Ok so I don't NEED a job right now, but I applied for a pantry cook position with Papa Haydn's today. Papa Haydn's is a really nice upscale restaurant that not only has amazing desserts and pastries but does catering and custom wedding cakes as well. If I get this pantry position it would totally get my foot in the door to be able to get a possible paid externship there with them as a pastry chef! Oh and by the way, I might be graduating in May instead of November. I am thinking of switching from the associates program to the diploma program. The only difference is that I would not be taking the 2 culinary courses for the P&B program and I wouldn't be doing the general ed. (which I found out isn't accepted as transferable credit to many universities if I ever wanted to go on to get a bachelors somewhere). It would also save me about $12,000. I have spoke with the dean of my program and I feel confident I can go out there with the skills I will continue to learn in my advanced pastry courses, and get a fantastic externship/job. I haven't came to a final decision yet but am leaning towards switching. I plan on making my decision over winter break.
