There are some times when a college education is absolutely necessary – when you plan on climbing the corporate ladder. For a chocolate shop – not so much. You would do well to take bookkeeping (colleges call them accounting classes but you would have a long way to go to be an accountant). You want enough knowledge to keep yourself out of trouble and dishonest employees out of your profits. A Culinary class would not be a bad idea – you would probably learn enough to qualify for any health department certificates you would need to work around food. That depends on your state and local laws, so check on their web sites. Good luck – it is more about business than chocolate and you will find most of your time occupied by that grind instead of actual production which is what you probably love.
