I wanted to work at a bakery or panera, but I always wonder if you need experience as a cook. Anyone worked for a bakery or panera?
Stop wondering: do it.

I once work for Pizza hut as dishwasher. Sure I HATE this job. I didn't quit that time, what I did was keep doing dishes while looking for better job. This has proven what the old timers told me many times that it is best to start somewhere in the bottom which usually these jobs that nobody likes.
I ended up have great job and had no regrets. Took me 7 years to get this far and now understand why it is best to start the lousy job first. Stick with your job and keep looking for better job. Also here is the truth. Most companies prefer hire somebody that is currently employed than hiring somebody straight from living room couch.
That's right. When you're fresh out of college, you may not always get the job you want... and have to start somewhere on the bottom. From there, you'll eventually work your way up to something that pays very well.Yea, many self-made millionares started out at the bottom doing menial jobs. If only my teaching job paid me a million dollars a year...hmmm

I had that same problem. Even with co-op experience and a lot of leadership experience, a lot of the jobs demanded 2 to 5 years of experience in the field. So, I ended up getting a part-time job that still pays good and is with a company that is open to moving up. After doing this job for a few months, I will take the opportunity to go up with whatever job they have to offer in the company. Within a few years, I could end up making over $50,000 or $75,000 a year.I know...that was the problem with so many people I have met. They assumed once they got a college degree, they think they are entitled to the job with the fancy office and all the perks. Doesnt happen that easily in real life unless u were born into a family with connections.
I hate my job too, its the exact same thing all day everyday 5-6 days a week. Very monotoned. Eh.
BUT after I return from my vacation I plan on switching to Sanitation shift 10:30-5:30 and then go back to school part time to finish my degree. At some point - likely when I get my truck paid off, I'll try to find a job that is flexible with college students and one that will allow me to pick up some skills so that I can get a more normal schedule. But I plan on staying with my current company until my truck is paid for. Also the longer you stay at one company, the more likely you are to get hired at a better job because time means you'll stay and that you are a good worker. But the more frequently you change jobs just because you don't like them, the harder it becomes to find a job you'll like because it means you can't keep a job no longer than just a few months. The hiring manager sees it as "Why put all this time and effort into training someone that probably won't stay that long anyway?"
