Dream job: eat candy and get paid for it

snoep

A workday that consists solely of tasting and judging candy; that naturally sounds too good to be true. But wait, we have news! Because tasting candy and earning big bucks for it… it really is possible!

Didn’t get the dream job as a chocolate or cheese taster? Don’t worry, because we’ve found the next ultimate dream job for you. So hurry up, update that CV, and who knows, you might soon be one of the eight new lucky ‘candyologists’.

Critical candy eaters

The company looking (vacancy) for new candy tasters is Candy Funhouse. This company will soon launch a new candy line with ten new candies. But because there are currently hundreds of different options, ten still need to be chosen first, and that’s exactly what you’ll be needed for. The candy experts in the making simply need to really love candy (who doesn’t?!) and be able to judge taste, texture and quality critically. That should be doable, right?

That’s a bummer

And there’s more: you’ll also get 30 dollars an hour for it, nice! But, um, dollars? Yes, we have to admit that to qualify for this dream job, you do have to live in America. That’s a shame, but fortunately, in our little country you can qualify to become a fried-snack taste inspector or make drinking wine your job. Good luck!
