Does anyone have a job in a baking related field, such as a baker, pastry chef, restaurant owner ect.?

If so I have some questions that I need answered. I am doing this project and it would be really helpful to have these answers.

Where did you learn your skills?
Were you trained after you started your job?
Did you take any specialized class? What?
Did you go to school? Where?
What are the benefits of this position?
How many hours do you work a day?
Thanks!

thankyou so much!

I used to own a restaurant. I learned my skills from Bon Appetit magazine and a plethora of cookbooks. I was trained a bit by the former owners in the 3 weeks until we took over, but that was just on being a bartender. Specialized classes, I went to Iowa State University and took management, hospitality, and sanitation classes for a semester.

Benefits? Practically none. Aside from the joy of making people happy and seeing the end result of my work. I worked about 85-95 hours a week, if you count working at home too. There are always bills to pay, menus to design, research to do. Per day at the restaurant was about 13 hours.

Hope I helped!
