I live in Chicago, and there’s a few good Culinary Schools here, but I cannot afford to pay for the tuiton. Is there any other way of learning to make chocolates here? Thanks.

You can go to some small “mom and pop” chocolate shops, and see if you can start working there. You’ll probably start selling behind the counter, and work your way up to making the candy. Basically you’ll need to apprentice someone.

Good luck
