Though many bakers typically work a 40-hour workweek, they don't normally work the 9-5 shift. In fact, many of them get up as early as two o'clock in the morning in order to prepare their baked goods for the morning shift. They'll need to be morning people in order to get the job done, and sleeping in or getting tired in the morning is not an option, because this will be the most important time of your day. If you want to be a baker, then you have to be prepared to get up early to start preparing your recipes, mixing your ingredients, and making sure that your baked goods are cooked to perfection.
