Your culinary arts degree or diploma will certainly give you an advantage over non-culinary school graduates. College graduates earn on average about $15,000 more per year than non-college graduates. Remember your level of experience and geographic location will influence your salary. Average salary ranges in the United States:
Executive Chef: between $48,000 and $80,000 per year.
Pastry Chef: between $30,000 and $64,000 per year.
Restaurant Manager: between $34,000 and $60,000 per year.
Sous-Chef: between $30,000 and $45,000 per year.
Hospitality Manager: between $30,000 and $42,000 per year.
Cook: between $28,000 and $32,000 per year.

The ACT is America's most widely accepted college entrance exam. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work.
* The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science.
* The Writing Test, which is optional, measures skill in planning and writing a short essay.

The SAT is a standardized test, formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Scholastic Assessment Test. The SAT is used by most colleges and universities in the United States to assist them in selecting incoming freshmen. The SAT is strictly administered by the College Board and offered several times each year. Most students will take the SAT at least twice, and the first time will usually be sometime during their junior year in high school. SAT prep is helpful and necessary for anyone who intends to take the SAT. Many high school students have found that an SAT prep course will help them perform better on the SAT whether or not they are taking it for the first time, or if they have taken the test several times before. The SAT is made up of multiple choice questions including verbal and mathematics, and the entire exam lasts approximately four hours. In 2005, an essay writing section was added to the SAT.

The main difference between the two tests is that the ACT has a Science section. Colleges usually specify either on their application or on their website what tests they accept or urge you to take. Clearly, if your prospective college requires that you take the SAT test, then there's no question of SAT vs ACT. Check with your colleges to find out for sure.

If you don't know what test to take the best way would be to take a practice SAT test and a practice ACT test. Which test do you score higher on (percentile-wise)? Which test format are you more comfortable with? Go with the test that you think you will do better on. Taking both the SAT test and the ACT test is also an option. Also keep in mind that most colleges and universities require that you take SAT subject tests, so if you're good at English and writing, you can take the SAT Writing Subject tests to show your skills. http://www.studybeans.com/sat/subject_tests.html
