Career Education Corp., which operates the Le Cordon Bleu schools in the US, has seen a 46% increase since 2008, which, at over $30,000 per student, means there's quite a bit of money in cooking degrees. But not for students: they're still largely relegated to the same low-paying line cook positions they could've gotten without going to school.
