If you aspire to become an Executive Chef at a country club, private club, hotel chain, etc. you are going to need at least a Bachelor's Degree and certification. (C.E.C. - Certified Executive Chef).
Many Chefs in that arena are C.M.C - Certified Master Chef
The salary potential is greater as well.
The American Culinary Federation explains the certification levels at:

At the very least, a successful Chef needs math skills, personnel management skills, food safety certification, and extensive experience with international cuisines.
A working apprenticeship, or local trade school associate's degree is a viable alternative.

How do you get one fourth of a recipe?
I'm no chef, but to get 1/4 as much food, you need to divide the recipe's ingredient quantities by 4, each. 2 cups becomes 1/2 cup. 8 eggs becomes 2 eggs. If you only needed 1 egg in the original recipe, good luck with using only 1/4 of an egg in your current recipe.
