google for the percentage of restaurants that fail within the first year. it's always very high. in this economy? far higher, I would bet. -- nm - the emerald city loves mandy lane Mar 11, 12:45 3
- Agreed. But if they're good and that's their dream, shouldn't let "the economy" stand in their way. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 12:47 2
  - by the time they're done, there will probably 85 cooking reality shows they can compete on, too. -- nm - Callisto Mar 11, 12:49 1
    - by 2028, everyone will only eat meals prepared by celebrity chefs. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 12:54
Sounds awesome. And thinking about it makes me hungry -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 12:44
Not a waste of time if that is your goal. But it's a tough time to open a restaurant, if the economy hasn't recovered by the time he's done. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 11, 12:42 3
- Hmmmm, "your" = "his", sorry. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 11, 12:43
- It's pretty much never an easy time to open a restaurant. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 12:42 1
  - Judging by the failure rate of restaurants around here, you may be right. - TaurusII Mar 11, 12:44
I know several people who have gone to CIA and all have well paying jobs at this point. -- nm - decline Mar 11, 12:42
Heh....I'm just goofing. I never think grad school is a waste of time. nm -- nm - Jim Mar 11, 12:41
