We’ve all had childhood fantasies of what we want to be when we grow up. Superhero. Rock star. Astronaut. Or more recently, YouTube star or social media influencer. But as we grew up, those fantasies seemed to be just that. You’re told, it’s just not a realistic career choice. But, what if it was?
Jennifer Stang (Culinary Arts '08) grew up wanting to be a baker but as she grew older she considered pasty as more of a hobby than a career. She was on track for medical school when she realized making buttercream was all she cared about.
Stang shares how her decision to change careers ultimately led to NAIT and a thriving business in Edmonton's La Boule Patisserie and Bakery. She also provides insight on how the rest of us can recognize the signs when we’re off course – and how to find the right path.
