You were a chocolatier? How does one get a job like that? And how do you do that job without eating all the products?

my parents owned the company (and the factory was in our house, and then on an addition to the house in the backyard). i was allowed 1 chocolate a day (and when my dad wasn't around i'd sneak a sample or 2 but after a while i hated the smell of chocolate-- still love to eat it, just don't like the smell)
