I just graduated from Stratford Career Institute in cooking and catering i need help with a job?

I graduated from stratford career institute in cooking and catering so being an institute that means i have a career diploma instead of an associates degree. I am wanting to be either a pastry chef or a cake decorator but i don't know what i should do whether i should go and look for another school for more training or start looking for a job in my profession. I would like to have as much help as i can get. I did work at wal-mart in the bakery department but i ended up changing departments to electronics, but now that i have this diploma i want to work in that profession. Please help me with any ideas Thank you

1. I recommend that you continue to look for employment. I say this for several reasons. First of all you need some real work experience. Second, this will help build your resume and credentials if you decide in the future to continue your education. Third, you will gain alot of knowledge working on the job and from your peers. Lastly, getting some real work experience will help you decide if you want to continue in your profession or if you want to specialize in a certain area of being a chef. You stated that you had interest in being a pastry chef but if you get some real work experience you might decide that job is not for you or you might discover you have more talent in other areas. Good luck.
