Fancy being hired to taste cheese and pizza for R280/hour?
Sounds like something of a dream for all cheeseheads and pizzaronis...
Like that Bruno Mars song, wouldn't it be a dream to get paid to do nothing?
Well, if nothing involved tasting food and getting paid for it, we would vote yes.
And if you don't have a problem with lactose or gluten, then this would be right up your alley.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison "is hiring taste-testers, or more formally known as descriptive sensory panelists." (Fox 11)
Their Centre for Dairy Research has shared that they are in search of people who are passionate about food.
Most specifically, cheese, pizza, and other dairy products.
"While the job posting says previous sensory panelist experience is preferred, the centre says it will teach you how to describe and evaluate food." (Fox 11)
