wow! you have some good plan there!
unfortunately I have absolutely no education in culinary area. I discovered my passion after getting 2 Master's degrees in classical music and polish educational system doesn't allow to enroll in culinary school (which only exists on secondary school level - you graduate when you're 18) if you already have higher level of education. even if it's in totally different area
so I'm pretty much youtube and blogspot graduate when it comes to baking
and sometimes I feel like I need more knowledge and less trial-and-error...
anyway I'm happy for you that you already found what you want to do in the future and hope you'll be able to pursue this path (and share some pro tips!)
good luck!
