What should I go after in my education frist?

im trying to figure out if I should continue working for my A.S degree in hospitality management . I want to be a chef and Im not sure if I'm going end up getting the job im seeking for. should just go for a culinary certificate even though I already have one from a vocational school? some people say a 2 year degree is a waste of time and that is whats getting me so concern about if it was just a waste of time for me to go after a degree..please help
