Are you a cook or a baker?

My family ran both a bakery and a restaurant, and while the two are overall very similar in that they serve food, the roles of baker and cook are quite different. 

Baking requires exact measurements and OCD as regards timing and ingredients. 

Cooking could care less, and finds its magic in broad strokes (for instance, adding a new ingredient to a dish versus adding 10% more of an ingredient). 

Modern jobs can often be categorized one way or another. Even within jobs there's room for different types of people.

​Most accountants are bakers, but the leaders amongst them often a more likely to be cooks. Graphic designers need to be bakers but Creative Directors need to be cooks. Writers can be found in abundance in both varieties. 

Learn what you are, then ask yourself if you're in the right place.
