Odds of Getting In
Good news: There are a lot of bakeries out there in the world. There's also quite the demand for bakers. Chances are, if you want a job as a baker, and you know a little bit about baking already, you can find a bakery that wants you.
If you want a bakery job somewhere that's not just baking bread and assembling sandwiches at the corner deli, though, it might be a little tougher. Jobs at high-end bakeries will be looking for more experience and talent in their employees than you might have at the very beginning. You have to follow recipes before you can make your own.
