What is the range of pay for a professional chef?

Can you answer Alison C’s question about Culinary?:

I am thinking about going to culinary school and subsequently working in the restaurant business. As a chef fresh out of school without any other experience, how much can I expect to get paid? What do celebrity chefs get paid?

    Culinary Feedback: you shouldn’t concern yourself with what celebrity chefs make, you’ll never get close to that. depending on what specialty you do, cuisine, pastry, desserts, you can expect around 25-30k I’m guessing? I’m probably assuming something in thehourly range though. Striaght out of school you won’t be doing much but cutting and cleaning food.
