How is baking as a profession? I could care less about money

Its shit.

Ignore the tv shows that hype it. Its a pet business for rich wives.

My mother is a professional baker at a retirement home. Its okay. She has to get up very early (4AM most days), but she's off work by 2PM and only works 4 or 5 days a week. She works mostly on her own, doesn't really supervise or get supervised, and rarely has to deal with the people who eat it. However, she is on her feet all day and she is damn good at her job, so don't expect an easy time or working conditions as nice as hers.

Known a few bakers over the years and their description of the work has been enough to keep me away. If you want to wake up at two in the morning, start lifting hundred pound bags of sugar and flour, and then work harder in a day than most people will in any one day of their lives, it is a good way

only if you have the undying love I have for bread and eggs and flour and baking.


it's the perfect job if you love it like me but then again, we all don't love the same things

and isn't the world just awesome like that?

This. You start work very, very early but finish it early as well.
>However, she is on her feet all day
This as well, but it's not that bad because you're not just standing. You do walk around from spot to spot so it doesn't get really painful. It's supposed to be less stressful than working in a restaurant. Ask /ck/ about it, they'll know more than /adv/ does.

This, for instance, couldn't be farther from the truth. Most people in the industry are men and the industry is not glamorous or relaxing at all.
