“A life without chocolate is not a life at all!”

Do you ever find yourself staring into space while in work, thinking about how you’d like to be anywhere but there in your job? You are not alone.

It has become too common for people like yourself to stay still on the treadmill of life, never stepping off to look at the endless possibilities and instead remain stood still with glazed eyes just waiting for the end of the work day.

Stop! Get off that treadmill now and follow me!

Today I am here to show you that there are wonderful opportunities out there for you. There are jobs that will have you jumping out of bed on a Monday morning instead of caving yourself inside it for five more minutes.

Now that you have joined me in the land of the brave, the land of the free (no not America, but close). I’m talking about a place where you can stop, open your eyes and see a world of pure imagination (Thanks Mr Wonka). There are jobs out there that you never even dreamed of, proving that if you’re willing to look and put in the effort, then you can find a job you will love and be passionate about.

In our latest “Jobs to Make You Jump out of Bed series” I present you with the amazing job of…(wait for it)…(1 more second)…

The Chocolatier!

As a chocolatier, it is your job to be the Mad Hatter of the chocolate world. You will craft chocolates into mouth-watering works of art: the flavours, shapes, colours, textures, and patterns making your sweets much more appealing than a basic candy bar. Through hours, days, months and even years of training your palate and experimenting with chocolate, you will come up what people will want to write home about.

To be the best chocolatier you will need not only creativity but also a lot of Passion! Award winning Chocolatier Stéphane Bonnat once said:

“Where there’s no passion, there is no quality.”

The average salary of a chocolatier is Average salary is $21,000/£15,000 according to Simply Hired but the number can vary significantly based on the brand, experience and location.

Whatever road you are walking down right now, know that you are not the first and not the last one to do it. But what you can be is one of the people that decides to change and do something about it.

So take a seat on that bench next to the road and think. Think about what makes you happy, what makes your heart beat a little faster and what job would make you want to jump out of bed for on a Monday morning.

Ignore the passer-by who tries to encourage you off the bench and back to the same road you’ve been on for far too long.You are unique and deserve the best in this life. Once you believe in that, there is no going back.

Be strong, be bold, be passionate.

So, what is your passion?
