I'm thinking of shifting career to bakery (preferably something more konditor focussed) and before I start seriously looking into education/school options I was wondering if there's anyone working in the field that could give me an insight into how enjoyable it is for you, does it provide a liveable wage etc
Would love to hear any stories and experiences. ☺️
I've been applying for jobs for the last year or so, explaining my desire for the career change but it's become very obvious that no one really wants to take a risk on someone with no formal experience or qualifications when they likely have many many other applicants with both of those things!
Bonus pics: some basic (and very humble) Nordic bakes I've done recently 😅

What I have heard is that the wages are low and with poor working hours.
Dast ist gut
(you should add way more cream in the middle of the skolebrød, at least double the amount)
To become a baker or a pastry chef in Norway, the most common way is to go to trade school for two years in stead of high school and then work as an apprentice for two years. It is, however, possible to be an adult apprentice. The program lasts for for years and you’ll be a certified baker or pastry chef if you pass your exams. Look for Voksen lærling baker. You could look up bakeries online and contact them and see.
