The food business goes from food sales to food processing which generally involves making all the processed foods we eat all the way from bread to candy to meats, poultry and fish.
The major food service fields are as follows:
Cook/ Chef
Baker
Bartender
Brewer for beer
Candies
Caterer
Cheesemaker
Dietitian/ Nutritionist
Fast Food Joint
Food Inventor
Food Service Manager
Food Store Owner
Food Stylist

It's generally messy work, is learned mostly on the job and generally doesn't require the skills that many other trades do although the pay is
generally low.
There are fish and poultry workers often working in large processing plants.
Join the military, take the cooking trade then after four years get a civilian job.
Food service is much bigger than restaurants. It covers all institutional buildings like hospitals, jails, senior retirement homes, mental institutions, college cafetarias, grade school cafetarias, the military, oil exploration companies, shipboard services, etc.
There are many food businesses anyone can start almost immediately. The only problem is government regulations.
Eveybody has to eat often.
Many are jobs but many are also businesses you can start on your own.
Start by looking in your phonebooks.
There are many schools but you can also teach yourself because it’s all about the skill not the credential.
