I worked in a chocolate shop. We made different types of luxury chocolates, here in little old southwestern Ontario, but had customers from all over North America. Truffles, fudges, almond bark, specialty pretzels, chocolate-everything (licorice, candied orange rind, ants, etc.), liquor-based chocolates, etc., etc. Lots of nice ice creams, candies (the Jelly Belly brand was just getting big then), specialty coffees, etc. All the chocolates and fudge and whatnot were made from scratch right there in the store, tempered and made on hand from base chocolate.

I grew up farming sweet corn and peanuts. That is as full time as it gets. One week in high school, i worked over 120 hours on the farm.

But once I finished college, my first job was a Traveling Leadership Consultant for a National Social Fraternity. My job was to travel to 55 different colleges and universities throughout the US and try to help them stay out of trouble. Pay was crap, but it was a pretty awesome job.
