Examples

Restaurant Owner/Chef

When I think of what I want to do in the future, a wide array of jobs come in mind. Yet none stands out as much as that of being a restaurant owner. I find it to be the perfect mix of business with culinary arts. Every since I was a little kid I’ve been playing with pots and pans or helping my family in the kitchen. I have carried this love all my life in hope that in the future I would be able to own my own restaurant
