Wow what an interesting life you can have in the dough business. Fascinating.
That is the key, find a job that produces a product that people want but that people really do not want to do. In his case pizza. Lots of pizza. You can treat the job as "something I am doing until something better comes along" or as a job where you are acquiring skills to reach the next level on the ladder.
Learn the business, learn the problems, solve the problems, profit.
